I had a forceps delivery in theatre three weeks ago. No one 'debreifed' me after the birth (did not even realise I'd had a forceps delivery until I was discharged 4 days later!)
The swellings gone down enough now and I felt today that not only do I have a lot of stitches to my perenium, but also inside? Is that even possible? It seems as though a lot of the muscle inside has been stitched! I don't see how a doctor would be able to reach that far inside, and how they would of cut it during my episiotomy? Has anyone heard of internal stitching?
