Abstract

Obstetric perineal trauma commonly occurs in vaginal births and has been related to complications with mother-child bonding. A literary review was completed to examine the effects of different birthing positions on perineal injury. The review concluded that placing mothers in a more upright position decrease their need for episiotomies.
