I was cut and didnt feel a thing and even after the birth they stitched it up and i still didnt feel it. You have to remember that the whole area goes numb because it has been stretched so much after birthing. It was uncomfortable for a few days. Just a tip to ease the discomfort afterwards at the hospital they gave me a chucks dishcloth that was wet then folded up and frozen, so you put on that area then just dispose of it with maternity pad. Felt great. I done the same thing when i got home.
