This episode has Cara and Missi reminiscing about the old days of learning, in which episiotomies were more common...unfortunately! Thankful for changes in practice and a focus on improving patient outcomes and satisfaction, Missi and Cara discuss types of obstetric lacerations, the history and types of episiotomies, repair techniques, and midwifery skills to "manage" the perineum during birth. #CutItOut #Episiotomy #MidwifeTricks #Intact #Lacerations #ObstetricLacerations #OASIs #Intrapartum #Postpartum #Birth #HandsOn #HandsOff #ProtectTheVulva @midwifenell @midwifece @acog_org
