How do you tell a new midwife about trauma caused by a past midwife w/o breaking trust?
I need my midwife to feel safe around me and I desperately need to feel safe and trust her as well. That being said, my first birth was traumatic largely because of my midwife. I want to describe why it was traumatic to my new midwife because I want to create a safe and honest space for a second pregnancy/birth but I don’t want her to think I’ll be very critical of her care because of my experience.
Has anyone done this and maintained a strong connection with a new midwife?
