In this session Theo discussed her memoir, Breaking the Taboo, which shares her personal experience of birth trauma and highlights how common and under-discussed the issue is in the UK. She reveals that thousands of women suffer traumatic births each year, with many developing post-traumatic stress disorder, yet poor maternity care is often accepted as normal.
The book also explores the challenges of being a mother and an MP, exposing how new mothers are treated in politics. It calls for urgent change and aims to break the silence around birth trauma.
