What to Know About Tearing
Episiotomies, forceps, birthing instruments…oh, my!
In this week’s episode, motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women’s health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch are chatting about different types of tearing, episiotomies, and birthing instruments.
This episode gets a little graphic…and it’s not to scare you! Our goal with No Mama Left Behind is to tell you all the things no one talks about!
Dr. Marcy talks about what it means when you have a tear, the different grades of tearing, risk factors, and recovery tips.
Be sure to join us every Wednesday for new episodes of No Mama Left Behind. We share a variety of topics related to motherhood, pregnancy, the postpartum period, recovery, mental health, vaginas, and everything in between!
