*"Why do they cut during birth? And is it really necessary?"*

In this video, we break down what an episiotomy really is, why it’s done, and the truth behind when it's medically necessary (and when it’s not).

As a midwife, I’ve seen the fear and confusion around this topic — so let’s clear it up once and for all.

Whether you're planning a vaginal birth or just want to be prepared, this is essential info every mom-to-be should know. Don’t go into labor without watching this first.

The Midwife Online is a trusted source of information, compiled by a midwife as a one-stop-shop for all your needs. Find links to other trusted resources, classes, research and demonstration videos.

I follow your pregnancy journey from the beginning *(Pregnancy)**, to preparing for the birth **(Birthing your baby),* and taking your newborn home *(Coping with a newborn at home).*

I talk facts here. We are all trying our best and figuring parenting out. I bring you the latest evidence-based research so that you have all the facts in front of you to make the best decisions for you, your baby and your family.
