Re-Traumatization during Pregnancy and Childbirth for Mothers Who Were Sexually Abused As Children: A Mixed- Methods Study

I propose a mixed-method study on childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and re-traumatization during pregnancy and childbirth. Ninety participants will be recruited to complete questionnaires on childhood adversity, mental health, and birth experiences. Participants who experienced CSA and re-traumatization will be interviewed to discuss what aspects of childbirth participated in re-traumatization.
