Description
In this episode, Katie tries to enjoy a cup of tea while Rachel disturbs her with a tale of perineal bungles. We delve into the government-backed interventions implemented in a misguided attempt to save women's perineums. We explore the origins of perineal bundles and how they impact on midwifery practice and women's births. This tale is about how women are being blamed (again) for damage caused by care providers.Links:Midwife Thinking Blog: Perineal Bungles and Midwifery Practice: https://midwifethinking.com/2018/05/09/the-perineal-bundle-and-midwifery/Dr Helen O’Connell – clitoris research:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/5013866.stm https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1283096/Music:Joesph Dade Production:Katie JamesEditing:Katie James and Jannis PiekarekSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/themidwivescauldron)
