It is estimated that there are about 10,000 women every year in the UK suffering from deep trauma after childbirth but the NHS is not ready yet to implement a care programme for these women and their families. Real Healing After Caesarean is the first manual written in the UK by a postnatal PTSD* survivor which will help many women sufferers. Real Healing After Caesarean includes extensive new research on this topic and will guide health professionals and midwifery students to a deeper understanding of this illness, becoming an invaluable source of information and reference. Included are chapters recognizing different types of post natal illnesses focusing on a wider description of Post Natal PTSD. Real Healing After Caesarean by Martha Jesty covers issues of abortion, Vaginismus (physical impossibility of having sex) Tokophobia (fear of becoming pregnant), baby and mother bonding as well as displaying charts for women to assist in monitoring their own steps to recovery. The result is an essential book for all health professionals, Christian leaders, as well as for women who can’t find their own path to recovery.
A survivor from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder-PTSD, Martha Jesty recalls explicitly all the feelings, fears and frustrations that she experienced with the birth of her first child. Any PTSD survivor will find comfort reading Real Healing After Caesarean knowing that someone has captured in words their exact feelings at the time. Filled with information on how to recognize symptoms of PTSD and other postnatal illnesses Real Healing After Caesarean will show women the way to recovery when they feel there is no hope and are suffering in silence. As a Christian herself, Martha raises very important issues and expresses her concerns to the NHS and other health organizations, giving tips for family members and friends as well as Christian leaders on how to improve their performance when finding a sufferer at home or church.
