- Episiotomy VS Natural Tear - What You NEED to Know!
Are you afraid of tearing naturally or having an episiotomy cut for your upcoming birth? Which is better, episiotomy vs natural tear, if you get to choose? Will perineal massage prevent tearing at birth?
Midwife Kira discusses what's an episiotomy and the difference between tearing naturally and an episiotomy cut. Did you know there are also a variety of ways to avoid tearing naturally and an episiotomy? For example, the idea of perineal massage in pregnancy to prevent tearing is actually a myth, however it does have its own unique benefits to some mothers. Also, alternative pushing positions and natural birth can prevent tearing. In this video, we will give you a visual on why alternative pushing positions will help, and how to prevent episiotomy.
Don't forget to watch the episiotomy demonstration to get a visual of why, without good perineal support, a episiotomy may not be the best option for your vaginal birth. There are times where an episiotomy may be necessary, so stay tuned to find out!

Going to the toilet and bathing was the hardest part...the healing process is a milestone
This video really appeals to me! My first was a hospital birth of a 8lbs baby. Epidural, episiotomy and tearing. My second baby in a birth centre with a midwife, an unmedicated waterbirth of a 11lbs 8ounces baby. No tearing ! I was so happy!
It’s amazing what birthing with support and choosing your own delivering position will do, right?! Congrats to you and thank you for sharing with us!
11lbs!?! Holy smokes that's incredible!
Could you please explain about the position you were in during your second delivery.?? Was that position was your own choice or your midwife instructed you? Ur reply might help me for my second delivery..
@@user-lo3jg4zh9z I was in the bathtub, sitting down, my husband was outside the bathtub holding me from behind. The midwives didn't instructed me at all, they left me free to choose the position I felt more comfortable in.
@@annacrisf that's great.. thank you Soo much🥰
The tearing part doesnt scare me so much as the recovery especially using the bathroom afterwards 😨😥
Trust me. Pooping after is HORRIBLE. I've had my baby three weeks ago and I'm still struggling with this. 😭
Yeah when I gave birth I didn’t feel the tearing at all but afterwards you bleed for a couple days the first time you pee after birth hurts and it hurts to sit down too
My advice is put some water or witch hazel on a pad (just enough to make it barely damp) and throw it in the freezer. This acts as a natural icepack and can relieve pain. Also use a squeeze bottle, no wiping. Get some hemroid cream for your bum. Epsom salt baths are great for cleansing. (I tore naturally. This helped a lot)
The only way I got through was using warm water in a peri bottle while I peed, and lots of stool softeners. A few prayers doesn't hurt either lol
I'm due in Sept and I'm DREADING my first poop.
I’m not pregnant yet but you have a wonderful and super informative channel. Thank you so much for your time n knowledge.
Thank you! Happy to help!!
This video alone has basically confirmed without a doubt that if I'm low-risk I'm delivering out-of-hospital with a midwife. Its true, you all are well-trained in normal birth.
Kæla Brown It’s your body your choice but women do hemorrhage after birth (like I did). I lost 1500ml of blood, my friend lost 2000ml I thank G-d for modern medicine and the fact that I was in a hospital. I was pro home birth but my family convinced me to deliver in a hospital and I’m so glad I did.
Our bodies can do this! Midwifes are experts at birth, but doctors are a jack of all trades. I feel much safer under a midwife’s supervision. Also, she will check in with you a few times after delivery to make sure everything is still good and you don’t require medical intervention. :)
I like your approach to an episiotomy. That's exactly how I want it to go for me, no episiotomy unless to save the baby.
overhere in the Netherlands, they dont do episiotomies. They let woman deliver on a special ' bench' with a whole in it, in sitting/squatting position. They let them tear, and repair the tear. The tear is how NATURE wants you to open if you need to. Cutting artificially with a blade thru the skin fibers, is painful, will heal painfully and is often seen as mutilation.
I had such ban flashbacks and basically most symptoms of PTSD after my first delivery because of the episiotomy that the midwife did. My daughter had a stellar apgar score so I doubt that she was in danger. The midwife was angry with me because I was "taking to long" "didn't push enough" she talked me into lying on my back, she didn't like that I refused pitocin....
The episiotomy hurt so bad, she didn't even warn me, she didn't say a word after, she took my daughter away from me and only brought her all bundled up....
I paid for a private midwife for my second child and it was the best decision I ever made ❤️
Good call on the pitocin. A lot of women have reported pitocin to cause excruciatingly painful contractions, even worse than regular natural contractions.
I’m due in 3 weeks, grateful for your videos. Prenatal classes cancelled due to Covid19, these videos really help.
I’m working on a class! It will be a while though :)
I agree against the perennial message. I am soon to have my ninth baby, all of them natural. It was with my fifth pregnancy that I was told do do perennial messages to help the stretching. It made it worse. First of all, you are supposed to stretch your perenium until there is a slight sting. All that did was bring to mind the feelings of crowning all over again, and psychologically did me a great disservice when it came time to labour. Secondly, you’re Perinium isn’t meant to be stretched before birth. The hormones that are present at birth are what makes your undersides stretch to do what it does. I am now firmly convinced that trying to Prestretch your perinium without those hormones present is only breaking those muscle fibres down there and they have to repair themselves stronger from the abuse, thus actually hindering the stretching during birth. It was during my fifth labour that they told me I had a mild tearing. Have never done it since, and all my labours that I haven’t done it, there has been no tearing.
I would like to include that I also tried to have many baths with oils, especially in the last trimester with olive oil, or avocado oil, which is good for skin elasticity. Or just rub oils directly on. And stay hydrated. I usually birth on my back, but tilted to my left side as much as I can.
Thank you so much. I am in my third trimester with my first baby and your video is supportive in helping me keep calm:)
Wish I had these videos to watch before my deliveries, i was not educated on any of this and now my problems are for lifetime😒
Pelvic floor physiotheapy CAN and WILL help. I promise! Check out @ladybirdpt on Instagram for tips and book with a local therapist if you can 💓 you do not need to have issues for life. I promise!!
Same here it's really affecting me 😭 emotionally
This definitely helped me with my worries about tearing.
If only our doctor is aware.
I love her calming voice and sweet disposition. 🥰
Thank you for this. I’m a first time mom and I’m really anxious about labor and this really calmed me and gave me more ideas for my birth plans.
You can do it!!
My sister was induced and had her baby in the hospital. Without asking or letting her know the doctor was preparing to do an episiotomy even though there was no indication that it would be necessary. She had also specifically put in her birth plan that she did not want one. She was lucky her personal midwife was there and caught it before it happened.
Reading this makes me so angry! Thanks for that midwife!
Aaaw! I hope that I can find a midwife like you here in the UK when I eventually get to have a baby, you're right up my street on every aspect of what you said. Thanks for being a star and encouraging a womans body to do what it was designed to
What an amazing comment! Thank you Michelle!!
The sad thing is that in out country (Croatia) they don’t let us give birth in any position except lying on our back... and the second thing is that they force you to have an episotomy..
When i had my first baby, the most hurting thing was recovering afther the episotomy, i couldnt do NOTHING for 4 weeks..just lying on the bed.
Now Im 8months pregnant and the only thing I’m thinking about is the episotomy 😞
So sad and un-natural. Women should be protesting this. Are there midwives in your country?
Thank you!!!! Now I can make an informed decision, Very appreciated!
Tearing and the need for episiotomy is totally avoidable, if you have 'birth canal widened to 10cm diameter' prior to the start of birth. Oxford wrote up the method and the birth trainers Aniball and EPI-NO Delphine Plus achieve this also. Please view UA-cam video 'Opening Doors for Baby to 10cm' and 'Birth Explained for 16+' Thank you.
Thank you I’m expecting my second child & have that fear of tearing or being cut in my neither region (like everyone) so this video was very informative & affirming. I only had a slight natural tear (that didn’t require any stitches) with my first - & I had an epidural & delivered her on my back - but I did have an excellent midwife who guided me so that I avoided a bad tear. As it’s a 17 year gap for my second I’m worried I could still tear if my baby is born too quickly or if I get a poorly experienced midwife/Dr this time round so I appreciate any tips I can get! I also ordered the epi-no (ani-bal device) to train & stretch the muscles in the vaginal region to avoid tearing also!
Your videos are giving me so much more confidence than I already had for my upcoming birth!
Thank you for this video and sharing your professional knowledge! Very helpful and educational. ❤️
Thanks for the feedback! It means a lot :)
You sound more intelligent than most of the doctors I have met during my pregnancy.
They all scare me for vaginal cut.
My due is 11/8/22.
I am still confused how to bring my little bundle of joy into this world, normal or LS!!
I pray for every going to be mom as this time is really frustrating and hard.
Aaaw, five weeks pregnant with my first. Was searching through UA-cam and I must say your channel is super informative . I wish you could be available worldwide and be my midwife 😊you make the whole experience sound so positive 👍👍👍💙💙💙
Great video, I'm pretty clear about what I want now. Thank you!
You made me feel so much better. I’m due in two weeks and this has been my biggest fear. My friend had her baby last week and she had a 4th degree tear and that horrified me. Although I’m opting for epidural, I don’t prefer to give birth on my back. Thank you so much.
My first birth was an OBGYN and my.2nd was my MidWife. The midwife experience was so, so, so SO much better, calmer, safer, saner. It was just better all around. I reccomend a midwife for everyone.
Thank you for this!! 🙌🙌 EVERYONE I've watched recommends Perineal massage 🙄 Glad to hear it's actually not that necessary... Wish you were my Widwife!
This video made me feel so much better and more confident.
Hi
2:38 yes is not the same sensation great video with a good info 👍👍
So blessed that I didn't have tearing my first two. But I am praying for the same this time too. I can't deal with the healing. The unceasing healing process be hard.. can't imagine that .
Very important video! Thank you!
This video has lessened my fear of cuts down there. Thanks a lot!
Hi Mehrin, I am glad that you aren't feeling as worried about tearing during childbirth now. It was one of my fears aswell, before I became an antenatal class teacher. Then I learned that tears are normal and 90% of women will have some in labour. The great thing is that the blood flow to the vaginal area is so good that any cuts or tears heal up fast. When are you due? Is this your first pregnancy? Love and best wishes, Anja xxx
Hypnobirthing With Anja heya! Thanks for messaging :) it is my first one and I’m just gathering info as much as I can and trying to prepare my mind. I really like that you are a teacher on these topics. Are u also a midwife or something? If u want to have a little talk we can talk on fb messenger, my fb is MehreEn Munir. Or may be u can give me yours. 😇
@@MreenGreenn hi! I'm Anja Moncrieff xxx
Hypnobirthing With Anja I texted you on fb! Did u get it?
Thank you, this was very informative and made me feel a lot better about my fear of tearing and helped me to make my decision against having an episiotomy.
I researched this before my first birth and put on my birth plan “NO EPISIOTOMY” (yes, in all caps) and guess what. My OBGYN cut me anyway!! The recovery was brutal and I have no idea how many stitches I got because he never told me. I used a midwife the second time around and had a completely different experience.
OUCH!!!
How atrocious! I hope you warn people about him. I'm glad your second experience was better.
Kate Kilgannon I have certainly tried to. He has a local reputation for being a “great” OB and I just don’t understand. Some of the moms I’ve talked to about him say “oh I loved him!! He’s wonderful!” It’s baffling to me. But a few others have agreed with me or avoid him because of my story so I will keep telling it!!
I’m not even going to lie, I would sue.
@@yin4296 honesty wish I had had the mental capacity to do so at the time. Unfortunately the statute of limitations has expired now.
Due in two weeks ... This video is so helpful in calming me down about tearing
I had the episiotomy and it was my first baby I had natural birth I was in so much discomfort and pain
Good information,wish I new this before having my child.
Thank you so much !! This is very helpful and I feel more confident and less scared now !
Hey I am from India. I see lot of information in your channel and I am 6 months pregnant now. I love to try all the tips share by you Kira. Thank you so much. Every video of yours is really informative.
Hi. From India as well. How did your delivery go? Here in my state Episiotomy is done to all normal vaginal deliveries
This video was so informative. Thank you so much! You are awesome!
Aww thanks! Good luck to you!!
I had this 2months ago..cervical rapture and 4th degree tear..to date am not myself...😪😪😪 I thank God things are getting better everyday..
This is my first time being pregnant I’m 39 weeks I want to do a natural birth but I have really bad pain tolerance So I’m glad this is one more thing I can check off my list to be worried about
Hey notice your message was from a week ago which mean you might have given birth by now. How was it if you don't mind me asking?
@@AdamAndNoahLearningBox it wasn’t bad at all the contractions was horrible when I got to a 7-9 but I got medicine in a IV which helped a lot I didn’t do a epidural pushing wasn’t bad at all my body did that naturally and she was out within 30mins my whole labor was 4hrs and there was no pain afterwards if I could skip being pregnant and give birth I would
This is really helpful. I want to try avoiding episiotaamy but not many articles or people are talking about this.
Just listening to the first minute of this video and reliving the traumatizing memories I have of my childbirth made me feel lightheaded and nauseous 😰 I wish I had better memories 💜
39 weeks, only got 10 days left, and I am terrified! It's my first, and I want to avoid episiotomy really bad! I just think that in a lot of times it is not nessesery. Been drinking raspberry leaf tea for easier birth and ate a lot of dates :((
@@meryem9664 Good luck! I think trying to relax about the whole thing will make it easier for your body to relax as well and do what it is supposed to do. That's what the nurses were telling me the whole time: "You're not relaxed! You need to relax so your vaginal muscles can relax as well" It was a whole thing. Then, in the end, they needed to vacuum my son out asap because his heart rate was getting dangerously low, and having assisted delivery with forceps or vacuum increases the chance of needing an emergency episiotomy. Visualize an easy birth :) I'll be sending you good vibes
My wife is just 8 weeks pregnant and we are looking forward to a natural birth. This is really informative. In government hospitals in my country during the delivery, doctors do episiotomy to everyone. I don't know what the hell is wrong with these people.
Thank you so much ma'am for sharing your views
Omg! My mom always told me back when I was pregnant 35 years ago is that it's better to have an episiotomy than to tear because a tear is more difficult and painful to heal. Also that a clean cut (episiotomy ) heals quicker. Well, I have just been schooled😮. Now it makes sense how a tear would heal better. Mind you this was 35 years ago and my mom was 50 years old at the time lol.
I was so dead set on not tearing, I got an epidural, had crazy back labor pain so, I welcomed the tear and the relief of labor 😂 it honestly didn’t even hurt 👌🏼
Did you tear
This is my first pregnancy and I’m really scared
Excellent info. Very well explained. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video 🙏🏻
I needed this video so badly. Thank you 🙏😭, I feel so much better now 😊.
Im terrified of tearing
But Even more of an episiotomy
Imma refuse an episiotomy and rather have a c section. There is no way im netting anyone cut my vagina open. Hell no!
Same girl omg😩
Girl you should watch a video of how they do the CS. check it out on the openmichigan channel. You might change your mind
@@fk8395 i had a c section.
Thank you so much for this, it really eases the anxiety.
Very well explained........
Episiotomy is very common thing in India... Almost all natural births performs with episiotomy...
You're so helpful! ❤ all your videos
Thanks for the feedback :)
Ouch I had double episiotomy and wasn’t numb never had such pain in my life was soooo horrific
Thank you!
I had an episiotomy with my first baby who was 7 weeks premature. There must have been some reason the specialist did that, perhaps to get my 3lb 5oz baby out quickly. I had a lot of stitches. My baby was fine and grew rapidly in the incubator and I brought her home when she was 6 weeks old. The stitches were sore but I had salt and Dettol baths to help them heal. The outer stitches healed quite fast, but the inner ones took 5 months to dissolve. I could still feel them there until then, and the inner scar was painful and sensitive to the touch for a long time.
Awesome, love all your videos.
Can you please reply back or anyone?
What if your doctor does an episiotomy without your consent and also didnt even make sure you were numb and also the baby wasnt even in distress or stuck. (I have the doctor notes). I lost so much blood from the cut that I went to ER 4 days after having my baby and I was 1 point away from a blood transfusion. The doctor didnt even ask for permission or let me know that he was going to put his whole arm inside me and then proceeded to stitch me up without even making sure I was numb & I overheard him telling a nurse that I had an episiotomy and when i got discharged they had no instructions on how to care for it and when I saw another obgyn she told me how yo take care of it and to do sitz bath and it honestly has affected me so much it made my post partum depression worse and i also started seeing a counselor. What should I do?
This really makes me terrified... tell me how to get natural birth without pain and tearing 😭
Look into hypnobirthing. Your only job during labour is to focus on your breathing to stay calm. Anything you do to help naturally increase oxytocin will help labour progress. Fear and stress can halt your labour and make it more painfull. Anything that helps you relax will help reduce pain and help you meet baby quicker. Be in a setting where you feel safe and comfortable, surrounded by people you trust, love and want with you. Have dark lighting it will help rise your melatonin levels, help relax you and baby when they arrive. Trust your instincts. You need to change your mindset on what pain is. Your contractions will never be stronger than you are. Think of how powerful they are, rather than painful. It is YOUR strength you will be feeling.
Make up your mind that it's painful and that you shall go throw it 💯.
Thank you so much for this information.
Loved the way you explained it. Cant get better explination of episiotomy than this. Thank you.
Before i deliver my baby,i read that in usa have new guideline they dont practice episiotomy like before as natural cut heals faster than episiotomy..and like u said in yr video when they do episiotomy,it tend to rip more..so when im about to deliver,i heard midwife wanted to cut me so i told her NOOO...but she didnt respect my will,she asked me if i want to have big tear by preventing her to cut myself.i wanted to tell her how she know i would tear myself,although i knew episiotomy is same like 2nd degree tear,that time i couldnt argue with her as im in terrible pain,i couldnt talk much,just bearing the pain and out of sudden she cut me although i didnt give permission..
My episiotomy only heal after 4 weeks..not 2 weeks like other people..and everyday in confinement i took picture of it to see the healing process..most of midvives think they are helping the mother by cutting their vagina during delivery but they didnt aware the episiotomy can give problem to the mother for her whole life...
During confinement period,i always feel painful there and this make me get postpartum blues ..due to the pain i feel reluctant to breastfeed my newborn,i refused to eat bcoz i scared to pass motion if i eat..
The worst part of this episiotomy thing,i noticed some inner flesh inside my vagina coming out...so when i have S.I with my husband,i bleed..i dont think its normal to have the inner flesh coming out but i dont know what should i do..my baby now 6 months old and it also has been 4 months i didnt serve my husband..this episiotomy thing really affecting myself,my emotion,and my sex life..
Oh gosh, I am so so sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. Although episiotomies do take longer to heal, 6 months is not the norm. Please reach out to a local OB or midwife to inspect your laceration and see if you would require any care to repair and heal. Good luck to you 💕
@@CajunStork thank u so much for the reply..i will go to meet gynae soon
I wish I knew all this when I delivered 12 years ago. I was 2 cm away from a full episiotomy and required 21 stitches afterwards. This was without my Dr cutting me, but I wish I knew about the massages.
Very helpful. Thank you.
So helpful thank you
Thank you!!
This is an excellent explanation and I wish I would of seen this before having kids. I delivered twins vaginally and had an episiotomy against my consent. Was told after the fact. Was not happy about this. With my 3rd baby I was against having another episiotomy and made that clear but was pressured by the doctor to have another one. Either it didn't heal properly or wasn't stitched well afterwards but now I have to go in for surgery to have the perineal muscle and skin fixed. Ladies do yourself a favor and do not agree to this. Better yet work with a midwife.
A follow up question for you regarding birthing on your back, do you think this can affect whether or not you have a prolapse?
Hi, did you have surgery afterward, did it heal properly? How they had it fixed 😬
@@seminrezayi2186 No, not yet. I have to wait for the surgery until I am 100% done having kids. The surgery is pretty straight forward, my OB-GYN told me they would just go in and close up the tissue structures that weren't closed properly after my episiotomy. Hospital births in my experience are not conducted in a normal manner. If I have any more babies I am going to use a midwife.
@@sunnylife7203 oh okay thank you for replying. The reason I asked because the same thing happened to me. I had vaginal delivery 3 weeks ago and somehow my stitches fell off at the first week, it didn't resolve so muscles, skin didn't reattached. The doctor suggested surgery and also gave me two options, either I do surgery after my 40 days and then if whenever I want to become pregnant again I choose c-section OR I give birth to how many kids I want and do surgery one and for all. What I'm wondering is that if I do surgery now I can't do vaginal birth again? Or why it doesn't get restitched? If you have info 😀
Hi, this is a good video. I'm currently reflecting on my experience giving birth. I gave birth at home, which did save me a lot of trauma, but
I always felt like birth flat on the back or sitting up made no sense to me physics wise. That it was almost going against the grain? I always felt like being as close to squatting and standing made more sense. It's so interesting you mention this because it's SO common for people to deliver on their back sitting slightly up. I suppose that's because many women get epidural too?
Ma’am I’m calling you once I get pregnant I trust you with my life now 😩
Thankyou so much!
So does this mean some women do not tear at all? As far as my doctors have made it seem, its like an episiotomy is the best route to go because tearing usually occurs.
Absolutely!!! Many moms off their back do not tear!
Thank you
Thank you!!!!
I had forceps and episiotomy and it was the WORST experience of my life 😂🥺 massively worth it though.
R u fine now bcz my wife have same and she didn’t go for pee from last 15 days
Same here, but my baby heartbeat was going down, very scary.
I'm from Cameroon and they only encourage moms to deliver on their backs..I wish I didn't have to deliver on my back..Thank you so much for the video. ❤❤
My 1st delivery was 3rd degree episiotomy...so what will happen to my second delivery?????Now am in 37 week pregnant.....
You rock ! Awesome information. I am not pregnant but I would trust you with my life ! I thought of everything you said too
Aww thank you Christina!
Does the natural tear needs stitching???
Hey, there! I just saw that someone else asked this a while back & Midwife Kira answered that it depends on the severity of the tear.
THANK YOU for making this video. I'm a med student and have always abhorred the thought of doing an episiotomy, more so because in my country it is a pretty common practice. What you mention about the vagina's orientation is so true! Why do we keep trying to make moms give birth on their backs when they could be standing up with some support or maybe even on all fours. I'll look into any studies that address giving birth while in alternate positions, thanks!
Delivering on their back is messy for the OBs 🤦🏼♀️ Î get it, we are dealing with blood and bodily fluids, but at what cost to everyone who is low risk?
You are so great ❤️ thank you 🙏
Just excellent!!!!
Thanks for this vedio..but i dont know if i can take an epidural and not to be on my back and not to have an episiotomy at the same time ...im so scared😢
you can give birth on your side with an epidural you don't have to be on your back
I would like to know how to find a midwife around my area New York Brooklyn
Call you insurance and ask what midwives are under your plan. I live on Long Island and am receiving care from the Stony Brook Midwives and will deliver at the hospital. Most midwives, unless they are independent, are covered under the obstetrics and gynocology. Good luck!
Since I had an episiotomy, if I were to have another baby vaginally, would I have a more likely chance of tearing on that scar tissue? Like a second or third degree tear?
Late responce and not even a professional one but for anyone else scrolling.. -i dont think it would be an "even worse" tear than the first but my midwife informed me you are definitely more susceptible for that scar tissue in the first tear, to tear again:( im hopeful though. Maybe remember to use counter pressure on the next one, keep your mouth in an open position or panting instead of closed (ive seriously heard that helps since everythings connected) and apply a moisturizing oil (like vit e) to the perineum area for a few months prior to giving birth. Lol at least I've got nothing to lose to try all these things...
I got an episiotomy twice! 😭
I'm a little curious about how do you give perineal support in squatting or standing position?
We don't! New evidence suggests perineal support increases tearing!
I've had episiotomy with 2 of my baby's deliveries. Expecting my 4th child in few days time, I'm so scared of tearing and stitches!
Is this woman saying that lacerated wounds heal better than surgical wounds?
Have you you studied any surgical textbook in your life?
Have you ever studied episiotomy vs vaginal lacerations in labor? Tearing in labor isn’t like a laceration elsewhere in your body. The vagina heals beautifully when jagged but with all the pressure on the perineal floor it easily gives with a straight wound. It’s not the same.
Amazing video....
I wish in india doctors also follow this tips as they did in history...but now a days they don't have much time to see a patient so they cut that area during birth....they choose episiotomy
I am scared for labor period pain is one thing but testing and then a huge shot to sew me back together after 9 months if carrying and pain and pushing out a baby and placenta like I am terrified
Great video i had a Episiotomy and still had 4th degree tare with a 4 pound 12ounce baby my dr is against them but had no choice as my baby was in distress and it would’ve been worse had i not got the episiotomy and I’m not sure if everybody does it different but i had dissolvable stitches and it wasn’t that bad hopefully i don’t have this issue again as i get ready to give birth to my new baby very informative video
The purpose of episitomities should ONLY be used in times of distress. As a mom myself, you’re welcome to cut me if it helps save or protect my baby! I am advocating only against the routine or unnecessary use of them for provider convenience. I’m sorry your baby was going through that :(
Not sure if our doctor will let us choose how to post.
I had a second degree tear with my first. She came out with her elbows out and hands on her head. My midwife put me back together the best she could lol
Yes! This happens no matter the birthing position!! Babies and their crazy elbows :)
God bless you
After c section normal delivery is pls make your vlog on this topic
Wonderful that you’re spreading such great information! Thank you!
