Interesting read about episiotomys (Midwife written)

[Tasha20]

I dont know how the hell I ended up on it but its an archive from uk Midwifery

http://www.midwifery.org.uk/episiotomy.htm

I dont know its in the right area, so sorry if it isnt!

But its really interesting on their thoughts of episiotomies!

Also one of the few episiotomies I did was on a horse rider as the perineum was like leather

I thought that.

Apprently women in that sort of sport everything is really tight down there

i have owned and ridden horses since i was 5yrs old, had 7 children and not a stitch to my name so i wouldnt worry too much

*shudders* yikes, i forgot about all that tearing business its not nice having one's foof impaled with a needle, and i only had 2 stitches! hmmm. this has driven me to use NFP more carefully this month!

Very interesting reading, thanks for that. I have been riding for years and have competed and ridden daily for most of my young life. I had a very slow first stage with Isla and hadnt ridden regularly since. Second stage with Morgan was lightning quick so i do think that there may be something in this horse riding idea. Haha perineum like leather i expect mine is buffalo hide!
