I finally had sex last night twice🥰🥰 I had a episiotomy so it took a little longer to heal. I think that long wait turned me into an addict😂

Stitches following an episiotomy
In case of episiotomy during your delivery, stitches will be used to close your perineum.
- Two types of stitches are possible to sew up the skin between the vagina and the anus: absorbable sutures and nylon sutures, which will be removed about six days after the operation.
- In either case, the scar will need to be checked to ensure that it is healing.
- Depending on the woman, three or four stitches are necessary, and they must be well placed to avoid any pain during future sexual relations.

Can you switch doctors last minute ? I'm due any day now but I am having second thoughts about my doctor. He is very pushy about inducing me - I have no medical issues and a very normal pregnancy (38 weeks). Also he mentioned episiotomy saying he can do that making the rip straight. Him and I spoke months ago about that and he said he was against doing episiotomy so now all of a sudden he changed his mind 🤔 I just feel confused and concerned at this point He wants to induce me on Tuesday

I’m personally not agreeing to induction unless I go over my due date by at least a week when I get to 41 weeks (unless something goes wrong with the baby and I medically have to for safety). You can say no to induction! Don’t let him bully you into it if you don’t want it. Many moms get pushed into inductions because it’s convenient for the staff to start your labor and know you’ll deliver in the next day instead of letting it be spontaneous. And you can switch providers if you want to, ask to see anyone else in the practice. As for the episiotomy, they’ve have had more research into them currently and it might cause more damage than not having one so just ask him why he doesn’t want to perform one, it’s probably just because of the new research coming out. A lot of studies have shown moms who didn’t get an episiotomy healed faster and without as many complications than moms that got them. My friends have both delivered their first babies without any tearing, so if they had opted for an episiotomy they’d be left with a huge rip for no reason. You got this momma, it’s YOUR labor so it should be entirely up to you esp since you’ve had a normal, healthy pregnancy ❤️

If you're looking for anything to add to your POSTPARTUM KIT, this was the best purchase I made last year postpartum. This cushion helps you sit without sitting all the way down on your bottom. My perineal stitches after my episiotomy made it hard for me to sit down for about a week postpartum and this cushion was so convenient to put on the couch, in the car, or literally everywhere I went. This pillow is great for vaginal soreness in general after giving birth if you're finding it uncomfortable to sit all the way down on your bottom ❤️❤️ I'll definitely be using this again
