My biggest fear for sure is getting cut or tearing during delivery???? Anyone else..

likewise!

@mypregnancy_journey, awhhh ur due a day after me!!!

@jocsi, really!?

At that point of labor if your tearing, you want them to cut so it doesn't get worse. They usually numb you down there first before the so that

my doctor let me rip. 😠 I had to get a couple extra stitches.

@candice_leann, how does it feel afterwards?

it wasn't all that bad except when I had to pee then it would hurt kinda bad but they give you a bottle to use to squirt warm water so you don't have to wipe

I ripped and my doctor also cut me. I had the epidural so I didn't feel anything until afterwards.

I'm scared of the recovery part

I got cut my first pregnancy because my son was so big and I struggled to get him out (8lbs 13oz)

Second son I ripped a little not too bad. They numb you if you get cut so you won't feel a thing. You'll be so interested in your baby that you won't care. You can take sitz baths afterwards and always use the squirt bottle with lukewarm water when using the restroom and numbing spray (dermoplast) and you'll be good ☺

sorry to say this but here in the US hospitals just let you rip. It's horrible. I gave birth in Mexico where they surgically cut me open and then sow me up but I know a lot of people that gave birth in the US teared bad and the gynecologist let them. If you are afraid of that I recommend c section.

@candice_leann, I'm so sorry that happened I hate how gynecologist here just let you tear.

@jocsi,

they cut my sister and my other sister had to get emergency c sections both Times but they just let my baby girl rip me it is ridiculous how most the time they let you rip @claudia.aguilar.123

I know omg how can they let that happen. I'm so lucky they just cut me and sowed me. I already told my hubby if I am pregnant I want a voluntary c section.

im terrified of ripping! or having to end up with a c section :(
