Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that one third of women experience their delivery as psychologically traumatic, and some proceed to develop childbirth-related posttraumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD). Although bonding impairment is implicated in CB-PTSD, the neural aberrations underlying this impairment remain unknown. To this end, we investigate amygdala response to trauma memory recall, a central process in the development and maintenance of PTSD, in women who experienced a highly stressful childbirth, with and without CB-PTSD and at risk for bonding failure.
