[quote=Anonymous]This Australian midwifery journal paper on perineal trauma (i.e. 3rd and 4th degree tears) has a great literature review and stats: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/4730/29cfe3104df3ce7ca7db853dbbb909927f38.pdf A couple of interesting nuggets: -Upright birth positions reduce instrumental vaginal birth (22%) and episiotomy (21%) -Women born in countries such as India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, China, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Philippines and South Korea have high rates of SPT and more research is needed into why this is and how this can be reduced. -The cascade of intervention in hospital (induction of labour, epidural use, instrumental birth, episiotomy) as a probable cause of higher rates of SPT is often not considered in the obstetric discourse around this issue.[/quote]
