Reported Birthing Trauma

Here is the link to report birth trauma

Our goal is to create an online space where people can report their birth trauma and negative experiences within medical systems and get support. Share whatever details you'd like to below and you have the option of a Community Advocate following up with you. We can help you with the following:

  • Connect you with how to report your birth trauma to a hospital/health system/birth center

  • Help you draft and send a formal complaint to most major systems

  • Connect you with sources: lawyers, doulas, emotional supports, workshops, therapists, to help you work through the trauma you experienced

The information you share will be confidentially (no names or personal information) used for the following:

  • Get a sense of how medical systems are contributing to traumatic birth experiences

  • To advocate for policy changes and, as appropriate, include in our Birth Advocacy Toolkits to ensure no other birthing people experience the same trauma
