Nick, I've had 30 years of experience and the disaster can come out of the clear blue sky in a patient who's been assessed as low risk and they happen in a heartbeat. They happen so rapidly that they are stunning. This is what we hear in Croatia as well. To my knowledge, this is true

[ozmidwifery] Question

This question/assumption was put forward on another list I wondered whether you wonderful women would be able to answer it for me as I have no idea really. What happens if the mother sustains a 3rd or 4th degree tear at a homebirth?Do they then have to travel to a hospital to get it all

[ozmidwifery] Tears and repairs

I am curious about something (and I know it is fairly rare with homebirth) but for experienced midwives I assume you would stitch tears yourself even if they were3rd or 4th degree, but I don't want to make assumptions so is that the case? Or would you transfer to hospital to have a doc

RE: [ozmidwifery] Tears and repairs

Personally, I dont suture, not for lack of wanting to, but I havent really had the opportunity to do it other than a workshop here and there, and no practical experience whilst doing my midwifery education. The midwife I work with would suture up to a straightforward, everything lining up

Re: [ozmidwifery] Question

The only experience I have had of this is as the admitting midwife when a woman came in from a home birth with a 4th degree tear. She fed babe while waiting for OR, had the repair and went home again when she had recovered from the anaesthetic. As I saw her around town many times later I found

Re: [ozmidwifery] Tears and repairs

Honey, I feel that 3rd and 4th deg tears are getting out of the ordinary and the woman needs a really good repair to function well afterwards, this puts it in the realms of an OB. As well as that the repairs can be quite painful and it is not unreasonable to offer a proper anaesthetic for it.

RE: [ozmidwifery] Question

I wouldn't suture a 3rd or 4th degree tear at all - at home or in hospital for a number of reasons. A 3rd+ degree is not within my expertise and can lead to long term complications if not done properly. I would rather it was done by someone with expertise and experience in a well lit theatre.
