Ask:
I did with ALL of mine..but my sister, darn her, didn't with ANY of hers!!!
Answer:
Yes, I did with both of mine. My dr. did them as a precaution just to be sure there was enough room. But that was years ago, as I am a grandma now.
Answer:
I had 7 of them!!!
Answer:
Just with my first born!! The next 2 I tore a little and #4 nothing at all!!!!
Answer:
None for me. I tore on #1 and #3 which is strange because dd#2 was the biggest at 8 lbs 8oz!
Answer:
Had one with Quentin, and the dr. (who I later learned hates to do them) said that he was glad that he did because I would have really torn had he not. Quentin was 9 lbs. 8 oz., and a very difficult delivery. Didn't have one with Ian, and he was 9 lbs. 9 oz. The dr. the 2nd time around was much better in preparing me for delivery, plus they were expecting him to be a larger baby since Quentin was.
Answer:
Nope I didn't with my two kiddos and I also didn't tear with either of them. My midwife did an awesome job stretching and massaging that "area" during labor .
Answer:
Nope, I did tear with my first one though!
Answer:
I had one with my 2nd. And I was mad, because I most likely didn't need it. My doctor was "old school" and just gave them to everyone. With #1 and #3, just had minor tears. I have to say that my recovery was much worse with #2 than with the other 2....or maybe it was all in my head....
Answer:
Only with my last one.
