episiotomy??? no injury?? i don't think so...

[MediVisuals]

This animation is about shoulder dystocia and ways to prevent it and injury to the fetus. Episiotomy is one way of helping to prevent shoulder dystocia. The "No Injury" is in relevance to the fetus - not the mother.

All these "methods" require doing painful things to the mother. there is 1 thing wrong with these images. mom is on her back. Try squatting, girls, or hands and knees - it looks uncannily like the "mcroberts position" but doesnt require someone pushing your leg up to somewhere it was never meant to go. oh yeah, and it employs GRAVITY. this is what happens when men think they can do women's work. we get cut, sliced, bent and broken. and somehow you've convinced us we should thank you for it.

[Rotemetoot]

all comments should be a reply to this comment so it will stay on top...

I agree fully...

Maybe the weird position in which woman give birth is due to the fact that it looks more female more respectful?

That is so interesting. I never understood what happened 20 years ago when I had my 13lb son. This explains it so well.

I understand your pain, I also know someone with a daughter who is 11 years old, that suffered from this and left her with cerebral palsy, but take heart - you're not alone

[shhimconcentrating]

My daughter and I suffered a shoulder dystocia 6 years ago. She is left with Erbs palsy and Cerebral palsy. I had three surgeries to repair the damage done to me and needed a year of counselling for PTSD. This is a serious issue and I am so glad to see more information out there and people debating the issue. Thankyou.

Fantastic video. Glad to see quality health information here on You Tube.

Thanks, keep it up.
