I had an episiotomy with my son, masses of stitches which all over healed. I couldn't have sex or even use tampons. 14months pp i Had a Fenton's procedure to tidy up the entrance but still so so tight down there, sex is still painful but achieveable eventually! And still a struggle to get him in!
My midwife and consultant seem to think I'll be fine and won't neccessarily need to be cut again and have assured me I'll have an experienced midwife delivering this baby who will help to prevent tears and assess when and if a cut will be necessary. Also an experienced doctor will stitch me up if need be.
My question is, with all the scar tissue down there, surely I'm bound to tear right? I can barely fit my fiance in let alone squeeze a baby out!!! im dreading having stitches again!! They were more painful thanthe birth! And after having dodgy stitches and surgery to fix them reaslky dont want to gonthrough that again!
