Just thought I would start a thread to reassure the women out there who are planning vaginal birth that perineums are designed to allow babies an exit. It is more often than not that perineums recover without any problem after delivery.
I have had 4 children and needed an episiotomy with the first two. I had sex 2 weeks after DS2. The last 2 children I had without a stitch. I am now 43 years old, my youngest is 10 years old and not a drop of urine escapes when I sneeze
