I've had four home births and four tears. Each time I didn't want stitches. I was assured they'd heal on their own and knit back together, but they didn't heal very well at all. Now I'm wondering about surgery because I don't want to risk being incontinent when I'm old. Has anyone had stitches and been glad? Or regretted it? Or has anyone had or is considering re-fashioning?
