Abstract
In the literature there are different interpretations of birth trauma (ВT). There is ВT of mother and fetus and BT in childbirth and trauma before childbirth. They write about hypoxic, biochemical, and psychiatric BT. The main attention is paid to BT, which occurs in the process of delivery under the influence of mechanical forces. Different approaches to the understanding of the BT are described, which must be distinguished among themselves. BT is not always the result of the effects of an obstetrician; BT occurs in the process of spontaneous natural delivery. The BT existed and will always exist.
