I had an epi with my second birth.. I was very young, and no idea about changing positions etc... so after almost 2 hrs of pushing, I was put on my back, feet in stirrups and an epi, then forcepts.
It was stitched up, and I barely noticed it again.
I had salt baths in the hossy, only stayed one night, and healed fine.
The thought of a c/section scares the crapola outta me!!
Since then I have had 5 more births, all natural, no tearing at all.
4 full terms, all over 8 pounders,(one almost 9) and a stillbirth.
So the epi hasnt affected me at all.
