It depends because you can tear any where on the vagina some tearing don't require stitches either they'll let it heal on its own

Your not supposed to do legals when you pee. Can cause bladder infections and stuff. You can do them all day long other wise :)

Your vagina is like a rubber band. I swear that's how my OB explained it to me haha. My first child was almost 9 pounds and I didn't tear but I got 2 stitches anyway. Recover was horrible. My second child came at 33 weeks only 5 pounds 6oz so of course I didn't tear at all or need any stitches at all. Recovery was amazingly easy and relatively painless. Thankfully. But my doctor explained that whether you have stitches or not, over 4-6 weeks postpartum your vagina will go back to its original shape and size. It may not look exactly the same but it won't be "lose" like you're expecting. So no worries and trust me you don't want to tear and have stitches if you can help it!

Yeah i dont think tearing is a good thing. I didnt tear with my first one and hoping i wont with this one either. You can always do the kegal excersize to get back tight. I knew a girl that tore from her vagina all the way down to her butt hole o.O ouch!

I didn't get stitches with either of my two previous deliveries and I've never had any complaints from my guy actually sometimes it almost hurts when we have sex. Stitched or not doesn't really make a difference
