1. Clinical and methodological aspects on perineal laceration diagnostics at childbirth
Sammanfattning : Background: Obstetric perineal lacerations are common after vaginal birth. The degree of obstetric perineal laceration is defined by the extent of tissue involved in the laceration. When a perineal laceration has occurred after vaginal delivery, the examination for correct diagnostics is essential before primary suturing. LÄS MER
2. The impact of maternal body mass index on pelvic floor during labor and after childbirth, and a new anesthetic approach for repair of perineal lacerations
Sammanfattning : Objectives: This thesis aimed to assess the impact of maternal body mass index (BMI) on pelvic floor during labor and focusing on pelvic floor function following an anal sphincter injury (OASI). Additionally, the objective was to design a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with the objective to evaluate the impact of supplementary anesthesia during the examination and repair of obstetric perineal lacerations.

3. Sexual life after childbirth and aspects of midwives’ counselling at the postnatal check-up
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore and describe how sexual life after childbirth is communicated, addressed and reflected upon among new mothers, fathers and midwives and the impact of leaving first and minor second degree tears after childbirth unsutured. Specific aims were to compare two groups of women with minor lacerations (first and second degree) after a vaginal delivery, with respect to the healing process and experience when the lacerations were sutured or left to heal spontaneously (I); to elucidate women s experience of their sexual life after childbirth (II); to describe fathers' reflections about sexual life 3-6 months after the birth of their child (III); to describe midwives reflections on counselling women at their postnatal checkups, with a special focus on sexuality (IV).

4. To tear and to heal : pelvic floor dysfunction and childbirth
Sammanfattning : Background: Up to 80% of women are affected by a perineal laceration after their first vaginal birth. An estimated 40–50% of lacerations involve the perineal muscles, and up to 7% are obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASI). LÄS MER
5. The Swedish birth seat trial
Sammanfattning : Evidence for the safety of upright birth positions in relation to maternal blood loss and perineal outcomes is inconclusive. Little is known about the impact of upright positions on the use of synthetic oxytocin for augmentation of labour or whether an upright birth position in the second stage of labour can reduce the number of instrumental vaginal deliveries.
