I needed stitches with my first child but refused them .. it made things worse .. the pain over time was horrible and the scars didn't heal properly .. I didn't need any with my second

I didn't get stitches in my first and even third child. I will always try to help bring my baby forth without fear. Some stiches are avoidable but due to fear u allow ur baby to weak. Another cause is over size baby. Try to minimize intake of starch and carbohydrate foods during your last trimester to avoid stitches. Gud luck and safest delivery to us all.

Yalumiya Masta Musole Its not always the case.. It depends on how big your baby is as well as your vaginas elasticity the tighter the vagina the more chances of stitches

No.. some women have very fragile Perineums... sometimes you can tear from too much midwife intervention...
And new studies have shown that you should say no to a episiotomy..
If your midwife cuts you it can make your tear a lot worse then if she were...Lihat Lainnya

saying no to an episiotomy when its really needed may result in extensive tearing like a third degree tear and the tearing of the clitoris and some doctors prefer to repair a third degree tear in theatre so imagine the workload that should have been avoided by just doing an episiotomy and the pain that the patient will be going through

Melina Taylor
Not according to new studies.. they’ve actually found that it can cause what may have been a 1st or 2nd degree tear to be a 3rd or 4th...
Intervening too much whilst someone’s giving birth increases the risk of tear aswell.. ...Lihat Lainnya

so how will u prevent 3rd or 4th degree tears, labial tear and the tearing of the clitoris then if u allow the woman to tear on her own even if u c the need to cut.

You can’t prevent a tear..
but episiotomys are more likely to make them worse and cause avoidable damage to the pelvic floor... ...Lihat Lainnya

extensive tears can be prevented by doing an episiotomy when its needed and a generous one if there is a need,support the perineum, then your patient will be fine
