Today's episode on Simplify Birth & Motherhood Podcast I will talk about one of the main concerns that moms have going into labor and that is the fear of tearing while pushing! Tearing can happen for multiple reasons and the difference between a Perineal tear and an episiotomy can greatly affect your recovery in postpartum with one being more challenging than the other. However, how one happens verses the other can be within our control!    While listening to this episode you will learn: 
  • How fear can affect the progression of your labor.
  • What an episiotomy is and how to communicate with your provider to prevent one from happening.
  • The differences between an episiotomy and a perineal tear.
  • 4 tips to help you decrease the chances of tearing while pushing during childbirth.
