Cosmetically, did birth change you down there??
So to start off, I had a c section my first birth. I had always wanted a natural delivery, no medication, but after doing the entire run to 10 cm without meds and then baby not coming down, I am now reluctant to go for a VBAC. I know my stomach took a big beating from being cut 7 layers, but experiencing natural labor and then c section birth has given me a diff outlook on the whole debate. Whether I want a harder recovery and another slice to my stomach, or easier recovery and vaginal changes?
I want to know honestly, did your labia stretch or vagina change from vaginal birth? Long lasting effects? I know you can get stitches, but I can’t see stretching of the labia to be reversible?
Please offer your experience. This is seriously keeping me on the fence. When you’ve already been sliced up and your stomach changed, one “hole,” you are apprehensive to do damage to yet another area of the body and just want to localize the damage. I hope no one judges for my apprehension towards vaginal delivery. I just don’t want to lose any more self esteem points after the c section. Thank you!
