I am pleased to report that we have very few episis at Bendigo. We had two intact peris yesterday, despite the births being vacuum extractions by obstetrician. It was very calm and controlled. Glad we can get that right at least! Nicole.

Good on you, Cheryl! You saved the psyche of a labouring woman from anguish. Maybe we should put a bounty on those scissors and just empty the hospitals of them completely? That might take the episiotomy rate down since nothing else seems to. I'd be prepared to keep them all at my place where I can never find a pair of scissors when I need them! I only ever use them for good not evil too! Congratulations on holding the space for your client!
