Spinoff to natural delivery recovery..
Did anyone who had a vaginal birth NOT tear or get an episiotomy (sp)?? Just curious.
I tore a little and needed a couple of stitches.

Re: Spinoff to natural delivery recovery..
I didn't need any stitches. No tears and no epi.  DS was 8lb 3oz. I apparently have good birthing hips

Re: Spinoff to natural delivery recovery..
Tore both times with DS and DD.
Tore worse with DS (8 pounds 7 ounces) than I did with DD (8 pounds 13 ounces)
Needed stitches for both, more with DS. I assume I was already stretched out for DD and that's why I didn't tear as bad!

Re: Spinoff to natural delivery recovery..
I tore pretty badly but my DD was sunny side up and pretty big - 8 lbs, 10 oz - and I'm rather petite. Her head was very large also - significantly above average in terms of percentiles - so it makes sense to me that I would tear so bad.

Re: Spinoff to natural delivery recovery..
Nope.. nothing. no tearing, no epi with my last two. The first one only a slight tear but it only required 1/2 stitch.

Re: Spinoff to natural delivery recovery..
I said that I did NOT want an episiotomy but I changed my mind. DD was starting to get distressed with my pushing and her HR was all over the place. They said if I didn't have an episiotomy I might tear very badly (I also had to have a vaccum delivery) - so I said ok. The thought of a second or 3rd degree tear made me give in to the scissors.
