My suggestions in this blog are intended first, to lessen the likelihood
of the
birth being traumatic, and, second, if the
birth is traumatic, to intervene during labor with the intention
of alleviating the
trauma and reduce her
chances of developing PTSD.
The reasoning behind this proposition is that: A) EBHV programs are designed to serve women categorized as «at - risk» due to a variety
of demographic factors, including single - parent household status, age at time
of first pregnancy, being categorically undereducated, under or unemployed, and meeting federal standards
of living at or below the poverty line; B) these programs serve women during pregnancy and / or shortly after the
birth of their children, offering an excellent
chance for the early prevention
of trauma exposure; and C) intervention services are provided at the same times that attachment (whether secure or insecure) is being developed between mothers and children, providing the opportunity that generational risk may be mitigated.
