Ok delivered my boy almost five months ago. Doc swore he had hair. The little guy was balled as Mr. Clean, but did come with a hand out stretched over his forehead and arm against his face. I received a third degree tear getting his head and shoulders out-> after two episiotomies. I had a failed foley cath (when they realized it I had over 1700 mls in my bladder). They ODed me on the drugs so I couldn't move my legs (had to use my mom, husband and my Dad [eww] to help hold my legs up so I could deliver). They recreated my perineum, after delivering my 7lb 10oz meconium, covered baby. The doc swears this is really normal, but I'm still sore, having UTIs like every month, and having problems passing solids (like every four to six days). I'm not having s*x but I tried after getting the go-ahead and was very sorry. Doing my kegals but still making air noises out of the v****a when I walk and stand up. Is this normal?? Sounds crazy to me. Help me out healthcare folks and moms.

  1. As far as the area that was torn... that could still be sore.... normal. The rest of it sounds pretty off. I have had three and am pregnant with our fourth and I have never heard of anything like it. Good luck!


  2. I know this doesn't help the situation you're in, but I've never heard of anything like that. I can't believe you tore and had 2 episiotomies!! Ouch!! I would consult another doctor to check you out because it doesn't sound normal at all.
