An episiotomy is an incision or a surgical cut performed at birth to give a baby more room to emerge is baby is unable to get passed the vaginal opening.

For a long time they were believed to be necessary for a child to be born. Research since then has shown that it is more beneficial for women to tear naturally during childbirth.

There are also ways to prevent tears and avoid needing an episiotomy. Such as:
🔹Switching pushing position
🔹Using gravity
🔹Avoid being completely numbed by epidural block
🔹Try different maneuvers that will give baby more room
🔹Breathing through pushing
🔹Applying lubricant &/or warm wet cloth

Episiotomies should only be performed when it is truly medically necessary such as a baby in severe distress during the pushing stage.

What is the issue with episiotomies? The surgical cuts do not follow natural tissue which leads to:
👉🏾Increased risk of 3rd- or 4th-degree tears.
👉🏾More painful and slow to heal.
👉🏾often require stitches & longer healing time
👉🏾 Increased risk of infection

In the U.S today 5–10% of births involve an episiotomy overall.
Some countries like Taiwan or Brazil show episiotomy rates of 90-100%. That’s scary!

However research shows that true medical necessity in birth would have episiotomies performed in 1–3% of births.

Long term risks include:
Weakened pelvic floor strength
Increased risk of prolapse symptoms later in life
Long term pain during s*x
Chronic pain in perineum
Nerve damage
Increased risk of 3rd- or 4th-degree tears in future births
Higher risk of a**l incontinence

Consent should ALWAYS be given before an episiotomy is performed.
Local anesthesia should and is offered/administered before one.

Relying on cervical checks alone as an indicator of progress and labor can very often lead to rushed decisions, stress & disappointment, misinterpretation of the entire labor process itself 😬

Labor is not linear. It is not mechanic or robotic. It can look different, last different times, and a subjective to how the baby is positioned and the mom is feeling.

This is medical abuse and coercion using terrible information 🤦🏾‍♀️
So much fear mongering and misinformation here:
👉🏾If a mom gives birth without an epidural and needs stitches, she can get local anesthesia.
👉🏾A mom has the right to not get an epidural and it’s fine.
👉🏾Epidurals also carry risks: fetal distress, fever in mom, low blood pressure for mom and more!
👉🏾Decision are NOT up to a doctor alone
UNLESS you need life saving measures or cannot consent due to being unconscious or incapacitated. This is far from the case here.
👉🏾This doctor is making it clear that this is
“her show, her birth” when it isn’t.
👉🏾This is the abuse and non medical behavior that causes emergencies.
👉🏾Every mom deserves to be supported in her choices and preferences as long as it is safe for her and baby. 👉🏾Not getting an epidural is a safe option for labor. Not every labor needs one nor every mom needs one.
👉🏾A mom has the right to change her mind at any point as well.
👉🏾Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is EXTREMELY RARE and can happen whether or not you have an epidural.
Using an extremely rare condition (that no one knows can cause it really) to coerce a patient into an intervention they don’t want or need is absolutely abusive, manipulative and EVIL!

THIS IS NOT EVIDENCE BASED CARE. THIS IS NOT INDIVIDUALIZED & PERSONALIZED CARE.

THIS IS ABUSE OF POWER!

Postpartum healing is NOT 6 weeks. It is 2 years or more for many reasons.

It took 9 long months for your body to grow a baby, make space for that baby and birth that baby.
There is no way for the body to recover from so many huge changes and transformations in a few weeks.

Postpartum healing is a journey that requires proper rest, proper nutrition, proper follow up and proper support.. Snap back culture is not only unrealistic for postpartum moms, but it is dangerous. 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Snapping back, ignores the colossal effort your body is undergoing to replenish what birth depleted you out of, to repair and to reconstruct and reposition everything that was affected by pregnancy and by childbirth.

It is absolutely NORMAL that it’s taking you long to fill 100% after giving birth ‼️

Just a reminder that POSTPARTUM ≠ depression.
Postpartum is the period after birth where the body is healing & recovering from pregnancy and childbirth
POST= after & PARTUM= birth, POSTPARTUM= after birth and it lasts 2 years.

Now DURING postpartum, you might experience mood disorders like:
• postparrtum depression
• postpartum anxiety
• postpartum rage
• postpartum OCD
• postpartum psychosis

So you dont “have” postpartum after birth, YOU ARE postpartum for 2 years

You’re welcome!

You know something is seriously wrong with maternity care in the US when more & more labor and delivery nurses, doctors are leaving the hospital system to support more homebirths or become doulas or certified lactation consultants.

11/27/2025

Hospital births are great for high risk pregnancies & when life saving measures or extra medical support is needed for the sake of mom & baby.

Often in hospital settings, birth is not seen as a physiological event, but it is seen as an emergency that “needs” some type of medicine. Medical staff often do not learn holistic measures, treatments, techniques the way midwives do. So when something that is not an emergency is treated as one, it very often becomes an emergency.

The CDC, ACOG and other respected health organizations have been sounding the alarm on how many issues from birth are preventable. How come? Often times, things are done due to -liability- rather than medical necessity. For example: being strapped to a bed, continuous monitoring, lack of patience from doctors when it comes to cervical dilation, being on your back a lot, work against physiological birth.

If you desire an unmedicated birth in a hospital setting, here’s a what you need:
1️⃣CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION
It will be hard to have a natural birth if you don’t know how physiological birth works and what you need to do to give your body room and space to achieve.
2️⃣HAVE A SOLID BIRTH PLAN
Birth plans are not just preferences, but meant to communicate to your medical team, your EDUCATED choice of care in most cases. Your birth plan should cover most possible scenarios.
3️⃣GET A BIRTH DOULA
Having an educated support person who will keep you emotionally grounded, mentally focused, physically comfortable (as can be) can make a huge difference in your birth.
4️⃣CHOOSE THE RIGHT HOSPITAL & MEDICAL PROVIDER
Some hospitals are better than others. Some medical providers are more holistic than others. Who you choose as your medical provider and where you choose to give birth can literally make our break your experience
5️⃣ BE READY TO ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF
The BRAIN method & having a doula is great for that.
6️⃣ ITS BENEFICIAL TO PREPARE BEFORE & DURING PREGNANCY
Your health and lifestyle as well as your partner’s health and lifestyle matters & has a huge impact on how your pregnancy & birth goes!

If you have desire to exclusively breastfeed, it’s vital to be educated about it.

Many breastfeeding journeys fail, not beacause of low supply but low supply that happened due to lack of knowledge and lack of support. It’s easy to sabotage your own journey if you don’t know how breastfeeding works or how to address problems.

The system isn’t built for moms to exclusively breastfeed. They offer supplementation before they offer breastfeeding solution.

Many pediatricians aren’t breastfeeding friendly or informed. So they either give you bad info like “you’re not producing enough” when often times you are and tell you to supplement, rather than tell you “I don’t know enough, please refer to a lactation consultant”. Many pediatricians also don’t know how to properly diagnose oral ties either.

Hospital lactation consultants often are just nurses with “breastfeeding experience” , rarely do hospitals hire actual IBCLCs.

They tell you your baby lost too much of their birth weight bc they lost 7% when in reality, a baby can lose 11% of their birth weight before it’s alarming.

They tell you baby is taking too long to get back to his/her birth weight, but science shows it can take babies up to 3 weeks and that’s okay.

They tell you it’s okay to get the epidural, but they don’t tell you the longer you’re on it, the more it can affect the beginning of your journey and offer solutions.

Knowledge is power! 💪🏾

It’s not that you didn’t produce enough, you weren’t given the tools, education and support that would allow you to produce enough!

Ask yourself, how often were you referred to a board certified lactation consultant as soon as you had issues by medical professionals?

The 6-8 WEEK WAIT AFTER BIRTH ⬇️

The fact that women don’t know why you’re supposed to wait 6weeks after birth before having s*x OR think that this rule only applies to vaginal births shows the lack of education from some healthcare professionals.

Your placenta leaves a dinner size plate wound in your uterus. It takes the uterus 6-8weeks to shed the lining and heal.
It’s a huge risk of infection & hemorrhage ⚠️ plus a potential higher chance of pregnancy
It doesn’t matter if you have birth vaginally or via cesarean section. The same wound is left behind.

& just because you’re no longer bleeding, it doesn’t mean it’s healed. It’s no where near healed.

BIRTH TIP OF THE DAY ⬇️

YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PLACENTA ONCE BABY IS BORN.

Your placenta naturally comes out a few mins to more after birth.

However, if it takes too long to be birthed naturally, your doctor may “gently” tug on the cord to trigger its release OR manually remove it by hand. This is called a “retained placenta” and it can be dangerous to mom (risks of infection, hemorrhage…)

Some things you may not know

• Almost every hospital give moms pitocin to “help” deliver the placenta. Most times, mom are unaware they were given pitocin after birth via their IV.

Some research also shows pitocin having the opposite effect.
• A placenta may take a few mins to 1hr to be delivered naturally. Most health orgs recognize this to be acceptable but will put a preferential limit at 30mins to be safe

However some doctors may consider a placenta retained way before 30mins depending on if mom is starting to lose too much blood OR if they just don’t want to wait.
So they’ll tug at the cord or simply remove it by hand.

Not giving the placenta enough time and forcing it out, can also cause hemorrhaging. So if you start losing too much blood, you want to ask, was due to forceful removal of the placenta? The placenta taking too long? Or another source?

If you’re going to give birth soon, these are some things you want to consider your birth plan to include and address. These are some things you can discuss with your doctor beforehand too.
