Our findings demonstrate that women are experiencing retraumatization in perinatal services, and there is evidence of formalized approaches being applied in clinical settings to prevent retraumatization from occurring. This study is the first to examine the factors that contribute to retraumatization in perinatal services and make recommendations to reduce the harmful practices in place in perinatal care settings.
