Summary
This study looks at two ways to close a cut made during childbirth (episiotomy) in first-time mothers. One method uses surgical staples, the other uses traditional stitches. The goal is to see which causes less pain and helps the wound heal better. 24 women will take part, and their pain and healing will be tracked after birth.
