Karmin suggests that professionals reach out and ask women how their birth experience was.

Yeah, so like I had mentioned, like, with my postpartum care it would have been good if they have some type of birth trauma informed care and, I don’t know, even just like asking them how would you – how would you classify your birth experience? Because I’ve had friends and I’ve asked them, like, how was your birth experience, and I’ve had a friend tell me, like, it couldn’t have gone any better. Like, so it’s not everybody experiences necessarily a traumatic situation. But I mean it is an intense situation, so, I think even like providing more resources for moms to reach out to, but also having resources reach out to the moms because like I mentioned, like, sometimes it’s hard to ask for help, and then also sometimes you might not realize you need help.
