Trauma and PTSD in the Perinatal Period

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Women's Mood Disorders

Abstract

Trauma exposure is prevalent and can have considerable biopsychosocial impacts in pregnancy and postpartum. Yet, trauma-related conditions and relevant risks remain largely underassessed and undertreated perinatally. Health professionals interfacing with perinatal populations are uniquely situated to promote healing and mitigate risks for trauma survivors, their infants, and families; providers can do so by understanding the perinatal prevalence and impact of trauma for perinatal survivors, providing trauma-informed care, and identifying individuals who may benefit from trauma-focused resources and interventions. Evidence-based assessments and treatments are available to guide intervention across clinical settings and levels of care. This chapter provides an overview of (1) the definition, prevalence, presentation, and risks of trauma perinatally and its potential adverse effects, (2) trauma- and stressor-related disorders, (3) evidence-based assessment and screening, (4) trauma-related risk sequelae, (4) empirically supported treatments, (5) relevant breastfeeding and lactation complications, and (6) trauma-informed care practices for perinatal providers and healthcare settings.
