One of the most common questions we get asked as midwives is "Will I tear during birth?". Here's the truth, around 27% of women don't tear at all during birth. That means over two thirds will experience some kind of tear. Tears vary from 1st degree that likely won't need any stitches, to 4th degree and episiotomies.
Discover essential insights about tears and episiotomies; this comprehensive guide covers everything from the types of perineal tears to the recovery process, providing you with expert advice and practical tips to help you navigate this aspect of childbirth confidently.
