About This Cutting Business... Posted: 09-26-05 16:00pm
Well, I have heard from my cousins that
the doctors cut "down there" (i don't
know the medical term) when they were
about to give birth.... And then they had
to stitch them back up :shock:
i don't know if they do this everywhere,
but apparently they recommend to do this
in canada where my cousins gave birth.
Has anyone had this done to them? And if
so exactly where do they cut??
Can anyone help me out here?!?!? I am so
scared when it comes to this!
Yikes!

Ok what it is... When your baby crowns
(head is just showing) they cut you
alittle its nothing big.. Its just so
you don't rip. Anyway they cut you
because the babys head is bigger then down
there. Then they stich you up and your
fine to go on your way ( some ppl say add
an extra stich lol for sexual reasons).
Its nothing to worry about...

Thank you for your reply, you made it
sound a little nicer than how I heard it
the first time.
Do you lose any "feeling" down there since
they are cutting?
Is it a little snip right where the
opening is or through your cliteris or
somerhing else? I am not quite clear or
maybe I don't want to accept exactly where
it is that they are cutting :?

It's called an episotomy. The doctor
will just make a small cut that will be
easier to stitch back up rather than a
tear that they cannot control. I'm
pretty sure that they just don't do it all
the time....

It dpends on how big your babys head is...
No you don't lose feeling down there..
And its much better then ripping ( 2nd and
3rd). 1st one was cut. 4th she was
perfect lol...
