this post is for pregnant mnetters who are worried about having to have an episiotomy.. I was TERRIFIED of this and thought it would be an absolute nightmare. Couldn't believe it when I had to have one...was so upset and disappointed. but it wasn't half as bad as I'd feared and has now healed up perfectly.
It was only painful for a few days afterwards, when everything down below was painful anyway.
So, please don't dread this happening to you!
Now my baby is eight weeks old and i've just had a look "down there" and you can barely even see where the episiotomy was.
