MOMMIES I need some insight. I just read that it's common for first time moms vaginas to tear while…

hmm im interested in your answers as well...first time mom here

I've heard you don't really feel it when it happens, cause so much other stuff is going on. but I also heard it can hurt when they stitch you back up, and takes a little while to heal.

I did with my son,I didn't feel anything. because I was still num some. I felt getting stitched up some.

I felt a slight burning sensation....it hurts yes but it was more painful walking around after....

I didn't even know I tore when I gave birth. I didn't have any pain or anything delivering but my very first picture of me holding my daughter I have this disgusted look on my face because I saw the doctor down there with a needle and thread and had no clue what he was about to do and why lol.

My stitches healing was probably the worst part of everything.

2 stitches here....only because she decided to turn as she was popping her head out

I didn't tear but I was told I was cut .i didn't feel a thing I was too numb

I tore with my first one, but I don't remember feeling it.

I tore a lot on the inside, I didn't even know until my Doctor explained he was stitching things up. I was way too busy loving on my baby. My Doctor spent a lot of time stretching my vagina as I was crowing, with his fingers, so I'm sure that helped. I wouldn't worry at all.

I tore, I had a 2cd degree tear, it doesn't always happen, but it can. It took me about 6-7 weeks to completely feel fine as far as down there, and not super tender. I slightly felt myself tear too, even with the epidural but it was basically wore off by the time I started pushing. Also, I pushed her out in around 15 minutes so they say if you push them out kinda fast it aids in tearing too from not pacing a lot.

Perineum massages are supposed to help with the flexibility to help you not tear, also kegal exercises are good to do too. Hubby did a few of the massages for me and I've always done kegals and I'll be having a water birth with will also help with flexibility so I'm hoping it all works in my favor and I don't tear.

I tore but not bad I got 2 stitches
