Hi, Love your Mommy ramblings! After perineum stretching with oil, I tore (slightly) with both of my babies and highly recommend it. When my first was nearly out, my Dr said “she’ll be out in 5 seconds if I cut you.” I replied “Not unless she is in danger.” My daughter popped out 10 minutes later and healing was a dream. My birthing coach recommended the following for perineum care: take 6-8 overnight maxi pads with wings and cover them in witch hazel and aloe gel. Then, freeze them before you go to the hospital. When you get home, they will be there to soothe your bottom, not melt (like the hospital ice packs) and catch the rest of the fluids too. Good luck! P.S. Check out my blog to read about both of my birth stories..

I was cut with my son. Worst.pain.of.my.life recovering from that (and I’ve had natural childbirth so I do have something to compare it to). I didn’t have sex for 12 weeks it hurt so bad. I sat on an inflatable donut for 8 weeks. Worst pain ever. Then came my daughter, where I tore along the freaking scar my ex-sOB left and was jumping back in the saddle 4 weeks later, no pain at all following that delivery.

Teresa, I’m glad you didn’t end up at Summerlin Hospital, my sister had a c section there and she almost ended up back in surgery cuz she got a major infection on her c section incision: even her doc admitted she wasn’t happy with their surgical suites/tools. That says alot! she’s not the 1st person I know who dealt with a problem like this from there, so stay in CA until this little cherub makes his debut!

P.S. Ever wonder why all LV celebrities/stars come to CA for medical attention? Need I say more!?

I beg to differ!!! Who cares if you get out of the hospital in 24 hours? You try laughing in public and not peeing on yourself!? Or when you throw up you piss/shit your pants? You still bond with your baby at the hospital!

T, I loved you on Adam Corolla’s morning show. I did not listen until you came on. I love the way you laugh with him and soften him up. I have changed my opinion about him because of you. I love it when you are on the podcast with him too. PLEASE come back to radio!
OK now to the episiotomy debate. I had a regular OBG doc the first time and a Mid-Wife the second. The first I had a small tear and no epi. I had back labor which hurt so much I didn’t really mind the sting of the tear. I had one stitch and had sex with my hubby 7 wks later. The second time around was much better. No tear and the Mid-Wife was awesome. The pain of crowning was intense and the massaging barely mitigated it. However-I did have my son naturally and was completely conscious for my son’s arrival. The care I received from my Mid-Wife felt like family. So worth it. My girlie parts healed fast and sprang back fast. Having a baby is like a truck ran over your girlie parts. No matter how you do it. You forget quickly cuz there is so much to do and so little sleep and that baby is your life. My kids are 18 and 21 now. I have never forgotten looking into their eyes right after they arrived. It was the most intense experience I have ever had. The love and gratitude that they are ok and relief and joy are all mixed up at the same time. Babies are little miracles. Every time. Do what your heart tells you. Revel in the experience and enjoy your baby. You and your husband are embarking on the most important thing you will ever be a part of in my opinion. Raising a child. It’s hard and scarey-but at the same time joyful. You are a wonderful, smart woman and you have a great guy. Follow your heart.
