Fathers Day Special: Suffering in Silence

When it comes to birth trauma, the focus is often on the mother. More times than not, however, the fathers experience a similar level of trauma that can even result in PPD, PPA, and PTSD. On this episode of The Bitching and Bolusing Podcast, Courtney and Brittney sit down with their husbands to discuss their experiences with trauma after birth injury and life inside the NICU. The dads get vulnerable and discuss how their lives have been altered by such trauma, and how--at the beginning--they felt as though they had to suffer in silence. Courtney and Brittney hope that this episode helps to open up conversations between couples of all types who have experienced a traumatic birth, a traumatic NICU stay, or who are faced with trauma related to their children's disability or medical complexities.

Happy Fathers Day!
