Some women can talk freely about baby clothes, baby names, hospital bags, feeding bottles, and scan results. But when it comes to vaginal tearing, episiotomy, stitches, urine pain, stooling pain, swelling, and healing, they keep quiet because they do not know how to ask.
Maybe you have heard one woman say she tore badly. Another one said the nurse cut her. Another one said she could not sit properly for weeks. Someone else said she cried the first time she tried to urinate after birth.
Then another person tells you, “Do not worry, it is normal.”
But that does not answer the real questions in your mind.
