My second came flying out and it took the midwife an hour to sew me back together. I couldn't walk for a week, but I could hold my toddler.<BR/>I was fortunate. Part of why it took an hour was because she was very fastidious, even got another doctor to assist, and both being women, they wanted to make sure they did it right. (They knew what they were dealing with.)<BR/>I'm really sorry for what you're going through. Mine was all internal, so pretty straight forward.

Frankenvulva sounds eerily familiar because I had something very similar happen with the birth of my first child. <BR/>So, I found the post about your son's birth. It brought back so many visceral memories from my daughter's birth, I started feeling faint. She was born within a similar time frame - my OB called it "precipitous labor" or somesuch euphemism. <BR/>I saw stars. While reading your post.

Then, she reassured me while hurriedly sewing me up before I completely bled out. I lost about half my blood in a minute or so.

When I finally did (two weeks post birth), I cried. I could laugh or cough for the first month without my whole flapping undercarriage laughing with me. It sucked. HARD.<BR/><BR/>I did have some amazing PT. The very nice lady used her finger to rid me of scar tissue (NOT PLEASANT but important to keep sex from being NOT PLEASANT forever.) and then some biofeedback to get my muscles up and running again. It took awhile but things are more ship shape these days. <BR/><BR/>Good luck and for 'gina's sake, please keep posting on this.

My two friends from my antenatal class who did actually manage the vaginal non-medicated thing comforted me with tales of their tears. One of them tore forwards, ie not towards her anus, but towards her urethra. Ouch. The other's daughter had her hand up by her face, and so she tore quite substatially. That was 17 weeks ago,and both times she has attempted to have sex since then, it has torn again... ouch!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-80869254474106394252008-07-31T12:35:00.000-04:002008-07-31T12:35:00.000-04:00I haven't read all the comments, but speaking as s...I haven't read all the comments, but speaking as someone who had the frankenpussy from hell after my first vaginal birth, it gets better.<BR/><BR/>The first year was meh, but after a few years, I couldn't see the scars and everything was feeling like new.<BR/><BR/>It's been twelve years and the only reason it isn't completely perfect still was because I hit menopause, and without estrogen things slacked off again down there.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, get some vaginal estrogen cream from the Doc and use it, and do kegels, sure, but also massage the cream into the scars.<BR/><BR/>Even the anal scars will heal...I also highly recommend using some cortisone cream.
