[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our docs need to offer more options than lie in your back and push or those crappy squat bars. Poorly guided pushing and improper postures are a HUGE part of why we are sustaining injuries during birth. It’s not all if it but man….there is a better way. [/quote]

And while csections are one, working with the body and giving more time, space and less schedule based pressure would sure make this safer. [/quote]

This is the midwife argument that does not hold up to scrutiny. But gosh it sure sells books, birth classes, and doulas. [/quote]

And potentially saves perineums. [/quote]

You realize the perineum is just the external skin, right? It’s the underlying pelvic floor muscles and keeping those intact (levator ani complex) that matters far more than surface injuries, when it comes to overall function. [/quote]

Yes I realize it as I was unable to feel anything well enough to have functional pelvic floor pt. I understand exactly why. I had a mercy epidural after my first 24hours of laboring to sleep. I let it wear off but was still required to remain laying down 12 hours later and worked against gravity and was given very poor guidance by the ob on pushing. I was so tired we just kept going. If id been given food or even broth and been permitted to walk my would likely have been much better. Or at least we could have had a better chance. It’s not all or nothing here. We need more support in hospitals for physiological birthing that works with our anatomy instead of against it. [/quote]
