I had an episiotomy with DS. I really had no choice, he had to come out in a hurry and to me that was more important. Havent had a C/S. But in discussions with people i know who have had a c/s.. i would much rather a c/s any day. I dont think i will ever be the same down there ever again. I had a really bad recovery with my episiotomy.. to the point i couldnt stand for more than 10 minutes at a time for the first 3 months without being in pain... then needing to have a skin tag removed as i wasnt sewn properly. Up until i had DD i couldnt DTD without being in constant pain. I only tore with DD but was so thankful the doctor who stitched me was actually a plastic surgeon. He fixed me so at least i can DTD now and the majority of the time not be in pain.. but things just arent the same. Im a bit worried what will happen this time round and pray i dont require another episiotomy, but if they give me the choice, ill be taking the c/s.
