Ouch

Shall I post the birth story? You may decide it’s best I don’t when I tell you that I reviewed my maternity notes a few hours after Ben was born and I saw the words “patient suffered second degree tear in the clitoral hood”.

Not good. Really not good.

Oh my god. Does that really happen?

Birth story please.

Violet March 2, 2006

I do hope it’ll soon be in working condition. I had a 2nd degree perineal tear, and sitting down (or standing up) was really uncomfortable for about two weeks.

Lou March 3, 2006

Don’t be a tease! Post it!

Dusty Clodfelter March 3, 2006

Sarah March 3, 2006

I’m due in two weeks so only post if you had no pain before during or after :)

I had a clitoral graze which freaked me out. A teat sounds awful. And yes, I’d like to hear the birth story.

janie March 3, 2006

I meant a tear sound awful.

Zee March 3, 2006

Oh, Ella!!!!! Ouchie. Major ouchie!! But I’m impressed!! Women are amazing, aren’t we? Do you think a man could withstand a tear in their (insert male equivalent of clitoral hood)?? I THINK NOT!!!! We’ll do anything for our men, though, won’t we?? :)

Post it. I can take it!!!

Buffi March 5, 2006

Oh, my. I had NO idea. I’m ashamed to say I need details!

mommy d March 5, 2006

I hope you are feeling better now. I am so glad I had a c-section. Whatever you went through sounds plain awful!

Milly March 5, 2006

Holy Moly. You didn’t tell me that!

Harriet March 5, 2006

Oh my word. How awful! I’m ashamed too to say I want all the gory details.

Kate March 6, 2006

Ouch!

Gosh, I so empathize. About 15 minutes into the stitching me up I asked the attending if things were really bad or if the resident was just a really slow sewer.

Kristen March 9, 2006

I was fortunate to get just a small tear – but when she was coming out – I could have sworn I was ripping in half.

Emma Kaufmann March 10, 2006

Sounds awful. All the gory details please.

Philip March 15, 2006

You see that we all want the details!

Hope your recovery is smooth…
