My Birth Trauma Story

Rachael McMullan, registered nurse and birth trauma survivor, professional portrait in outdoor setting

I'm Rachael–a birth trauma survivor with a nursing degree (RN BSN).

When placenta accreta nearly took my life, I left the hospital physically recovering, but with no guidance for the trauma that followed. Meanwhile, my husband's suffering went completely unseen.

In the aftermath, I realized what was missing: our healthcare system excels at saving lives but fails at supporting the healing that continues long after hospital discharge. That gap in care nearly fractured our family.
 
Drawing on my lived experience and nursing education, I began creating the evidence-informed, partner-inclusive resources I desperately needed. Now I'm building a community where survivors and partners can find the support our system often overlooks–because no one should face the aftermath of birth trauma alone.
