Huni congrats on a lovely scan, and kick that awful man out of your life!
I had a third degree tear with DD and it was pretty gnarly, took a LONG time to heal and I have a ton of scar tissue left. I asked how many stitches and they were sewing me for an hour - well they used two full packs of sutures but he didn't use normal stitching methods because of the tear, so I was told he "lined things up as best he could" - WHAT!?
DD was a meconium birth, which was stressful. I had an epidural and a LOT of difficulty pushing, I was so big I couldn't wrap myself up properly to push. I ended up playing "tug of war" for two hours with a doctor to pull myself up while pushing the baby out. And she had tachycardia the entire time; I'm not sure why they didn't do a section on me. Because of the meconium they had a NICU team to immediately evaluate her, plus because of my difficulties pushing there were a lot of people with me. About 15 doctors/nurses in the room for a vaginal birth is terrifying!
