Yesterday I had a prenatal visit with a client who will soon be having her second baby. One of her biggest concerns, really huge for her, is avoiding a repeat episiotomy. We talked a lot about trying to soften the scar tissue, talking about her concerns with her (different!) care provider, using warm compresses, maybe trying to breath the baby out, and how we will remind her care provider about her wishes as she is pushing.
When I came home, I happened to come across this:
