Great information. Can you deny cervical exams, yes. But should you? Well that all depends.

I’m trying to think of something inspiring to say but my mind is drawing a blank.
I’ll just say what’s truly on my mind. These moms I serve are amazing. Strong, powerful women that all want the best for their babies. They inspire me on a daily basis.

Very interesting 🤔 what are your thoughts?

The standard method for closing the uterus after cesarean delivery, used for over 50 years, may be causing a host of long-term health issues for millions of women.

According to Dr. Emmanuel Bujold and Dr. Roberto Romero, leaders in obstetrics and gynecology, current closure practices—where sutures join the uterine lining with surrounding muscle—fail to restore the uterus’s natural structure, leading to serious complications.

Their exhaustive review reveals the risks: abnormal placenta attachment affects up to 6% of women, uterine rupture up to 3%, and premature births up to 28%. Many suffer pelvic pain (up to 35%), excessive bleeding (up to 33%), and endometriosis or adenomyosis (up to 43%). Such complications are linked directly to the scarring produced by the conventional closure method.

Bujold and Romero propose a nuanced technique: suturing tissues only of the same type, carefully reconstructing the muscle layer while leaving the uterine lining untouched for natural regeneration. Although this new method takes 5–8 minutes—twice as long as the traditional approach—the additional blood loss is minimal and outweighed by better outcomes for future reproductive health.

With cesarean rates rising globally, especially in countries like Canada where 27% of births are by C-section, prioritizing meticulous uterine repair is a critical public health concern. This shift in surgical thinking may help millions experience safer subsequent pregnancies and better long-term well-being.

This is the way it should be. Women are stronger and more capable than our culture gives them credit for.

No delivering for this midwife 🙂 I'm a baby catcher.....if you need me to be ❤

I will also drink your coffee, scavenge your cabinets for a PBJ (if its a long labor) and curl up under your dining room table to nap (if you live in a tiny house
