@a7 @fluffy @hierarchon @p @pernia episiotomy is what's considered unnecessary and it's no longer routine. the women in this piece had extra stitches after tears, not episiotomys.
you right now:
the husband stitch? that's a myth.
and if it's not, it never happens.
and if it does, it can't be clearly defined or studied.
and if it can, we don't know the motivations behind it.
and if we do, then they're justified.
