Can Different Birthing Positions Prevent Perineal Tearing? Let’s Look at the Evidence

from The Pelvic Freak Show · host Dr. Hannah Meyer, PT, DPT and Dr. Amanda Neri, PT, DPT

New research in women’s health alert! Y’all already know we had to jump on this. You’ve heard us complain many times that we need more research in women’s health, it’s mandatory at this point. We want to be the podcast that gives you the most up to date evidence-based information for your body, for your sex life, for your health, for YOU. All of our clinical impressions come from evidence based practice. We look at research all the time but we don’t always talk about specific studies on the podcast. Today we analyze a study looking at different birthing positions and their impact on perineal tearing. We get questions all the time “What’s the best position to deliver a baby in?” “What position can help guarantee I won’t tear” “What are things I can do to prevent tearing during child birth” If you’ve found yourself asking these questions, this research based episode is for you.Article Referenced In this Episode: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41572012/Have a question or story?
