Perceptions of birth and wellbeing after birth debriefing among women who describe their birth as traumatic

Results highlight the need for person-centred, choice-based approaches in postnatal care, particularly for mothers experiencing SBT. While BD shows potential benefits for non-traumatised mothers, its varied effectiveness for those with trauma suggests a need for more tailored, trauma-informed debriefing approaches. Expanding access to diverse interventions that cater to all individuals and understanding BDs role in broader postnatal care could improve maternal outcomes.
