Abstract

The prevalence of post-traumatic stress symptoms in the study population is concerning and elucidates the distress experienced in association with prenatal ultrasounds during pandemic restrictions in Australia. Maternity services should acknowledge the high levels of service consumers with post-trauma symptoms and consider trauma-responsive maternity care adaptations in response to adverse perinatal outcomes for those afflicted with post-trauma and distress-related symptoms.
