What to Know About Birth Trauma

In this episode of Becoming Moms, Dr. Sterling is joined by Kayleigh Summers, licensed clinical social worker and creator of @thebirthtrauma_mama. They sit down for an incredible conversation about preventing and navigating birth trauma -both coming from vastly different birth trauma experiences of their own. Birth trauma is not always preventable and does not rest solely on the individual to manage. They talk about the many aspects that can contribute to trauma at birth and the steps we can take to empower birthing people.

Kayleigh is passionate about the ways in which early treatment of birth trauma can change the trajectory of healing for an individual and their entire family. Check out her resources on both her instagram and website!

Profile picture for Christine Sterling

Christine Sterling

As an OB/GYN, I’ve helped hundreds of mothers bring babies into the world. Time and again, the mothers I’ve cared for expressed frustration and overwhelm at all of the conflicting information and advice.

Women don’t need more information to sift through, they need one trusted resource they can rely on for medical advice as well as strategies for having a calm and confident journey.

I started Sterling Parents so that overworked, stressed moms can relax. I want to provide the expert advice they are looking for SO they can stop digging for answers and get in touch with their own inner wisdom.

I want to lighten your load so you can thrive as the mom you are meant to be.
