I expect Margie really has been there. I've seen SDs with fetal injuries with no episiotomy, no fourth degree tear either. One was seven minutes from birth of the head to birth of the whole body; the midwife used several maneuvers; baby was born with a dark purple head, white limp body and needed resus; baby had a broken arm, client had a first degree tear. It is possible to resolve SD with the client having an intact sphincter, even an intact perineum. Jennifer Enoch midwife

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
