I'd venture that the overly systematised, euphemism-happy coldness of the medical establishment is part of the problem. PTSD actually means being upset for a very long time. A clump of cells actually means a baby (but we can't say that because...). Organised support services are probably inferior to support from a strong network of loving family, friends and community (but latter doesn't exist because of social disintegration). A holistic approach would support the family as one, rather than treating the mother as a separate specimen to be processed.
