Abstract
Psychosocial issues can present at any time in the weeks and months after caesarean birth. Birth trauma can cause debilitating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Midwives should be alert to the early warning signs of risks of mental, emotional and spiritual issues that impact on the birthing person. Appropriate referrals should be made to allied healthcare professionals for assessment and management.
