On this episode of the Midwives Cauldron, it’s just me and Rachel hanging out and stirring the pot discussing vaginal examinations (VE's)!

We take a step back in history to look at how midwives originally used vaginal examination during labour and for what purpose
We look at current guidelines
Rachel goes on her history trail for us to find the original research which guidelines are based on
We talk about said research, the risks of vaginal examinations
Language midwives could use to discuss VEs in preparation for labour
The importance of talking about vaginal examinations during the antenatal phase
How mainstream media influences us into thinking that vaginal examinations are an important part of our labour
How medical birth needs a different assessment from physiological birth
I ask whether there should ever be a timeline set in length for a labour
We question how students can learn the skill of vaginal examinations if we “shouldn’t be doing as many as we are”
And Rachel teaches me the word furtle!
