birth

When your giving birth, can you feel when they're sewing your vagina? (Sorry for TMI, I'm just curious lol)

If you tear badly like me, the tugging feeling can be very distracting if you're trying to bond with baby. If I tear badly again, I'll give the baby over to be weighed and whatnot during the stitching. My first memories of my daughter are tainted with my midwife between my legs for almost an hour.

They gave me a shot I didnt pay attention to  it bur I didnt feel anything anyways

They gave me a shot of numbing medicine and went right at it afterwards I felt everything but it didn't hurt much because I was to focused on my baby. Also I only had one stitch. And technicaly they are only supposed to stitch you up if you need 4 or more.

I had an epidural and didn't feel it when they were stitching me up. Just a little tugging here and there but no pain.

I didn't tear with either of my kids I have two so no stitches

They'll use local anesthetic. I felt tugging but no piercing.

I had a epidural and I still felt the stitches. the doctor will use a local anesthetic if you dont get a epidural to help numb the area. Its pretty quick though it only took like 2 minutes. and I got a episiotomy so i think my wound was much deeper than a normal tear.

They numbed me down there before they stitched.  I felt a little prick here and there but nothing painful.
