if you do a non-medicated birth and have to get stitches do they numb the area before stitching you up or no?

I had a third degree tear also and ripped some stitches trying to go #2....I ripped all the way from my vagina to my butt, it was just one big hole lol. Worst pain EVER

I had a first degree tear and it killed to walk and pee for about two weeks!!! the hospital gave me some numbing spray though!

@happyliz, my child was over 9 lbs and his head measured at 98% size on the chart. I'm sure youll be better off then I was

omg ugh that's what I'm terrified of @thehowtohippie

@lun2016, yea that stuff @happyliz everyone is different I had a 3rd degree tear (2% of births have this stage) and also pulled my inner thigh muscles. Walking was difficult for 3 weeks. But hurt for 8 weeks and wasn't fully healed for 10 weeks.

yes they will numb u up I plan on having another non medical birth even tho I did the epidural class

does it burn or hurt a lot to pee and walk? if so for how long? @thehowtohippie

lidocaine? @thehowtohippie

@thehowtohippie,

okay thank you so much!

They will numb the area with a shot before stitching. Can't remember the name but it's the standard numbing shot

@lun2016, yes

tag me in the answer as well, good question
