Episiotomy and stitches, who normally does the stitching?

[Kardelen]

Hi everyone,
my last birth the doctor did an episiotomy. Was in theatre so they stiched me up.

however, this time I’ll be having early epidural and will be in a room I’ve been told. So in this case does a midwife do the stitches?

heard horror stories so not sure if I should just go for c section instead. If any midwife’s stitched you, how was it?

You may not tear second time. I tore quite badly first time - second time, not a thing!

I was stitched up by the midwife and she did an excellent job. She actually said "20 years ago, they would've just taken any flaps off and stitched up what they could... these days, we consider stitching to be art work. We do our best to get everything back exactly how it should be"... slightly alarming to be told as she's working away, but I appreciated her attention to detail!
