I think A LOT of women feel it is traumatic for their own reasons. Arcadia don't feel like you cant talk about trauma simply because you had a birth many consider the ideal, we all react differently to different situations which means something said/done to one might be traumatic to another.
I find Most women feel trauma in regards to their 1st births because they don't know..strength, how hard it might be, the pain or not, the speed, the overall feelings associated. this also comes from no longer being a part of family birthing we don't see the normal we don't have other women with us supporting us.
No one else can tell us what is or is not traumatic!
