Abstract

Suturing can be a daunting midwifery skill to learn, as it's complex and carries great responsibility. There are lots of excellent texts on suturing available in midwifery literature, but perhaps not much on the emotional side of learning. This light-hearted article addresses the anatomy and physiology of the perineum in an engaging and easy to understand way; looks at the current evidence around the decision to suture; and shares ways the author progressed from being apprehensive about suturing to being passionate about the topic and enjoying the skill.
