One in four women say injuries resulted in them regretting their decision to have a child
Some 85 per cent of mothers who endure severe injuries while giving birth say the wounds profoundly damaged the relationship with their child, new research has found.
The study, conducted by MASIC, which supports women who suffered injuries in childbirth, found 14 per cent of women who experienced such injuries said the damage to the bond with their child was permanent.
While one in four said the injuries resulted in them regretting their decision to have a child and a third said they viewed their child as causing the wound. Three in 10 said they feared their child would fare better without them.
