Hi all fellow midwives and students and all
:)
Looking after a woman last night who was a
primigravida, term, induction for SROM, not in labour. RMO needed birth
experience, so he did the catching. He did not cut an episiotomy, and nor
would I have, but this woman ended up with horrible tears, in all directions,
almost to the clitoris on both sides. We were 'scolded' by the consultant
for not doing an episiotomy.
Any comments? Am happy to clarify things off
list if it would be easier to comment.
Thanks.... I had a nightmare about it, needed to
debrief!
