tears

[socks4]

I was told I had a tear but nobody else knew this even the hosptial or doc or community midwives should my tear be noted somewhere ie on my discharge notes im confused thanks

Hi socks

I had a second degree tear and I remember the midwife that visited me after the birth asked me how my stitches were and if I wanted her to check them.

I think it should have been written in your notes. Most details about the birth are i thought? Perhaps it was forgotten.

Hope your ok down there!

I had a mini one with my first birth and it wasn't noted - half the professionals I saw weren't aware, half wanted to check my stitch (just the one). If it's big enough to be causing you discomfort or worse it should be noted, definitely. Should be noted anyway.

MMMM just wen I had my dd I was told I just had an epis but I have already a thread on my unnoticed 4 th degree tear my consultant said he tear was sewn and took my notes to my dr who said my ob had seen the tear and it was a 4th degree I thought my consultant was tellin lies thanks ladies
