Dealing with the second stage

When your baby is gradually pushed down your birth canal, try to use gravity as much as possible to help keep the far right as you can. Get yourself to what ever position feels most comfortable, he can sit on the bed, crouched on the mat with the support of your partner, leaning against a chair, being on all fours, or using a birthing stool. Your partner and provider of healthcare can follow your example. Between contractions, use your breathing techniques, in particular, Noor let your pelvis, rectum and anus relax.

Coronation

Episiotomy

An episiotomy is a surgical incision of the perineum which helps to allow the baby's head to pass through.

It is more common to have an episiotomy with a baby first because the opening of the vagina may be less elastic and you are more likely to tear. Episiotomies are performed if your baby is very large, is in the seat position, or if you need assistance with forceps or vacuum. If you have not had an epidural and pelvic floor muscles will be numbed first with an injection of local anesthetic. Then the tissues of the vagina, and the underlying muscle, are cut at the height of a contraction to extend the opening. The incision is sutured after the placenta has been delivered.
