anyone else have an episiotomy? I have questions

i had my little guy on the 1st and am healing from mine :( not sure how helpful I can be but I'm happy to help with what I can

I did. I tore in the different spots and got 12 shots of lidocaine down there.

I didn't actually have one. I tore like a mofo though. My baby was an 11 lb chunk with a big head lol.

I almost had an episiotomy but ended up with a second degree tear instead.

@babybsproudmomma @lyndsie94 @morganmomma when did it stop hurting during sex?

yeah mine were 2nd or 3rd degree they were pretty bad. mine didn't stop. for months.

My tear was a 4th degree tear. I've been too scared to try to have sex again. I'm still careful wiping because it feels weird. I know my stitches are gone but in my mind they're still there.

I'm 10 1/2 weeks postpartum and we still haven't been successful having sex.
