Rejected petition Hold an inquiry on Birth Trauma in Wales to improve mental health outcomes for mums.
Perinatal mental health continues to rise in Wales due to poor maternity services resulting in birth trauma. 1 in 5 mums experience perinatal mental health. Last year an inquiry was made into birth trauma on a national level. This needs to be actioned in Wales to improve maternity services so that mums do not continue to suffer traumatic births. Birth trauma can have a long term impact on both mother and baby.
