3 Mom Might Need A LOT Of Stitches…Down There
One of the often-pondered questions of child birth is, “How does a whole baby get through that tiny hole?” The answer is that he makes the hole a whole lot bigger.
You may be familiar with the term “episiotomy,” the cut a doctor makes in your girl parts to widen the doorway for your baby’s huge head. Or, you may prefer to tear naturally. Either way, you probably anticipate no more than a few stitches.
Nine out of ten women have some sort of tearing during delivery, and some require stitches all the way from vagina to anus. A tear that severe happens only once in every 100 deliveries, but to further reduce the risk of needing your taint sewn up, break out the olive oil and do some vaginal massage/stretching beforehand.
