Breaking the taboo : why we need to talk about birth trauma / Theo Clarke.

London : Biteback Publishing, 2025.

384 pages ; 24 cm

In an emotional debate in the House of Commons in October 2023, then MP Theo Clarke broke down in tears as she described being rushed into emergency surgery after the birth of her daughter, terrified she was going to die. Amazed at the public response, she quickly realised that although birth trauma is a huge issue, there is still a real taboo around speaking about it. In 'Breaking the Taboo', as well as telling her own story, Theo presents the experiences of mothers and fathers from different backgrounds that show the undiscussed realities of birth trauma.
