Abstract
![CDATA[Clinical trauma to the perineum, external and internal anal sphincters is common, as is (usually occult) trauma to the levator ani muscle. Most of it occurs during a first vaginal delivery. In this study we aim to quantify the proportion of primiparous women after term cephalic delivery who achieve a normal vaginal birth while avoiding major trauma to pelvic floor structures.]]
