[purpledaisy2]

I've never watched one that close up before, my god no wonder I was ripped to shreds

 

[Genna]

Never thought I'd say this but..... thank god I had a c-section

 

[Chloe <3]

That was horrible i had an episiotomy but i didnt realise it was like that , how can she smile

 

[alysedelovely]

I am INSISTING that my doctors not do an episiotomy. like I will switch drs if it is their "procedure". my opinion is I would rather tear than have a cut that i might not need. at the hospital where i'm delivering, it used to be a standard thing- they just did it for everyone. I am particular about that and forceps. i will have neither unless something is severly wrong and the baby needs to come out now.

ugh that video scared me.

sorry for nosing in... but OMG! I did not realise an episiotomy was done with scissors! :O ... maybe i'll put off TTC for a while! haha

H&H pregancies to everyone

My midwife came over to do my birth plan last week and told me that in the 6 and a half years she'd been delivery babies she'd had to do 3 episiotomies. Not sure whether that means they just 'let' you tear unless its an emergency or whether theres really not much need for it as a procedure, but I was vaguely reassured lol x

lol
i found new strength and tommy was out in the nxt cuple pushes and i got away wth a minor tear *phew* xxxxx

 

[AppleBlossom]

Erm... I wish! Haha

 

[debsxhim]

Ive heard that tearing can be a lot more painful, and dangerous in the long run rather then just letting them cut you. Maybe not like dangerous, just have a longer healing period and it will hurt a lot more.

 

[lizardbreath]
