I was wondering if you can have an Episiotomy twice? Or is it easier the second time round, and an Episiotomy will not be needed? Am asking because i had my son 13 months ago and i had an Episiotomy, i passed through alot, it even had to be repaired at some point. Sex was not funny for a long time. my mum has us all four without a single Episiotomy. thanks already,,, |

It's possible to suffer this twice or more. The best way to avoid this is to take instructions from the birth attendant during delivery. I suffered this during my first delivery but was careful during the second and thus, it didn't re-occur. Once the baby's head is out from the birth canal, a woman ought to stop pushing and wait for the birth attendant to adjust/turn the baby's head to a sideways facing position instead of the original downward facing position so that the shoulders don't have to tear the vulva in order to create more room for the baby's exit. During my second delivery, as soon as the nurses on duty told me my baby's head was out, I stopped pushing and told them to adjust the baby so that history dosent repeat itself. I resumed pushing after that and had an epistiotomy free delivery. Experience is the best teacher they say. 1 Like |

I agree, its a horrible experience. I'm nursing one right now myself (mostly due to not taking the nurses instructions  ). Its unlikely you get another tear in your next delivery but brace yourself for a possible reoccurence. @Agohavivi Which one be arrow again  |

Whoa  , that must have been one hell of a tear ndo/pele/sanu. In my own case, I pushed against instruction almost killing the baby in process . heard the first weewee after the procedure was very painful but I felt nothing of sort. Almost 2 weeks gone, the stitches are. out, the wound is almost healed (Thank God). I've heard women experiencing it with everyone of their childred sheeh  |

dominique: I agree, its a horrible experience. I'm nursing one right now myself (mostly due to not taking the nurses instructionsI forgot that this forum is self editing. Especially with words that have to do with private parts. I actually typed the word vulver with "a" instead of "er". I'm as surprised as you are to see the word arrow. Besides congrats on the birth of your baby. Didn't know you were expecting. |

Wow, episiotomy no be small thing Oº°˚˚˚°º, mine is almost 5wks old and I still feel d pain anytym I apply pressure. Mine was done even before the baby came out as a form of precaution (d hospital sef too dey like tear pesin, av heard stories.....). Don't know why since my baby was soo small( 2.7kg) I didn't even feel d scalpel as it was slicin M̶̲̅ε̲̣, was too hyped from d pushing, afterwards when d hormones has worn off, d pain was so unbearable that I couldn't even sleep. I just hope with my next (if there's a next) d nurses would let nature take its course and let d baby come out without havin to tear tins. Btw heard sum episiotomy wound tk as long as 3mnths to completely heal. Don't think DH wud want to hear dat one o |

haba, 2.7kg? U would hv bn able to deliver dat baby without a tear, i guess dey didnt want to take any chances. Mine wad 3.4kg, i knew i wld hv bn able to push him out, other first time mums had theirs without a tear. I just hope they knw hw lucky they were. |

My baby was also quite small (2.8kg). The doctor said it wouldn't have torn if I had kept to their instruction but the contractions were too severe , I was literally pushing against my will. My cervix also got injured in the process . All in all, I thank God sha. agoha_vivi: I forgot that this forum is self editing. Especially with words that have to do with private parts.

Yes I knew I would have been able to deliver the baby without a tear, but the doctor had already made up his mind to do d episiotomy hours before I started pushing, heard him discussing with the nurses. All in all, as painful as it was, I would gladly take episiotomy over the horrible pain of cs recovery :x. |

I had episiotomy performed for my 2 pregnancies. The 1st was painful but the 2nd was almost painless and healed quite fast I couldnt believe it. i think it depends on the person performing the procedure. i also think 9ja hospitals perform the procedure even when there is no need for it cos my 2nd baby was 3.1kg as against the first which was 3.5kg and they still tore me. the annoying thing is they wont even let u know b4 cutting. |

@sweetheart, if they tell you they want to cut you, you will be freaked out and wont let them. My friend whose baby was 2.6kg had episiotomy. It wasnt the nurse that tore her oooo. The baby did. She said its because she was circumcised and i agree with her. My baby weighed 4.0kg and mehhnnn did he tear me to pieces, up and down. I was given lots of stitches but everything healed up nicely exactly 2weekss later. The Doctor who performed the stitch used a mordern method with dissolvable "thread". It was hell peeing and toiletting as i was always scared the stitch would loose. Next time, i would prefer they give me a little cut than my baby tearing me. Its not easy abeg. Plenty gbozas for we mothers. 1 Like |
