Tearing/cutting.... FREAKING OUT!!!
I am shocked at how common it is to either tear or get cut during birth...
This scares the cr@p out of me if I'm honest, and I can also tell you that it is the ONE thing of birth that gives me sleepless nights (I've even had a nightmare about it!!!!)
What I would like to know (if you don't mind sharing), is if you tore/were cut how long did it take you to heal and how painful was it? Does it influence your sex life at all?
Do you think I'm making a too big a deal out of it? I.e. it's bad, but not that bad and being able to birth naturally is worth it?
Hope I make sense!

I didn't feel or notice the tearing either. I don't know how many stiches I had either. My tear was caused by a fast labour but I still prefered a natural labour and a tear to a c sect, then you have cut skin, muscles etc to have heal and no driving or lifting.
I healed in two weeks, I couldn't sit on a hard seat for the first two days or so and going to the loo stung at first but u could move around or lift without any problems.
