This class is designed for students and practicing midwives who want a clearer, more confident, hands-on framework for postpartum repair — what to do, where to start, and how to finish with skill and precision.
Practice your suturing technique in real time and ask your questions live with Augustine.

FAQs
Do I need to have taken the Suturing After Birth course before attending this lab?
No — this lab is open to all skill levels. However, if you have taken the course, you'll get even more out of it. Come with your questions, your sticking points, and the scenarios that have felt unclear or overwhelming. The live format is designed to meet you where you are.

Do I need a vaginal model to attend?
No, but it's highly recommended for the most realistic practice experience. If you don't have a model, you can still participate using common household alternatives — a chicken breast or cow tongue both provide a surprisingly effective simulation of tissue texture and suturing resistance. What matters most is that you have something to practice on.
How does this class work online?
This is a live, interactive 2-hour class held via video. You'll be able to watch Augustine demonstrate suturing techniques in real time, practice alongside her with your own materials, and ask questions throughout. It's not a passive webinar — it's a live lab, so come ready to participate, practice, and get your hands moving.
What's included in the Full Package kit?
The Full Package includes a vaginal model and a suture practice set (includes needle drivers, stitch scissors and mini forceps) delivered to your door — everything you need to practice alongside the class. Kits require 2 weeks for delivery, so order early to ensure yours arrives before the lab.
NOTE: You'll need suture material and a filament needle to complete your setup — these aren't included in the kit. For the best experience, I recommend practicing with what you’ll actually be using in your clinical work:
36” Vicryl 3-0 with a ½ circle 36mm CT needle.
Building muscle memory with your real-world materials matters.
That said, if you have access to expired or donated suture, you’ll still get excellent practice from any 2-0, 3-0, or 4-0 Vicryl, Vicryl Rapide, or Chromic Gut in any tip style, as long as the needle is 26mm or larger.
Please avoid silk suture or monofilament (the “fishing line” type) — the handling properties are too different and will work against the muscle memory we’re building.
When in doubt, bring what you have and we’ll work with it.
Is this a CEU course?
This lab is not a CEU course. However, we do have a Suturing After Birth (4CEU) class which you can sign up for here or buy at a discounted bundle price with this lab.
