So Hardy said "I found a subreddit about things women wish they knew before labor, here is it for you to read". Proceeded to read it and reached this:
God defend your soul if I go thru something similar, Argie '-' and thx for the new dosis of fear and paranoia.Well shit, I made my own little swimming pool when my waters went. I was lay on a bed in the delivery suite because they were going to induce me, but my contractions started naturally so they kept me in anyway. I had a pethadine injection in my leg and was expecting the pain to ease off so I could get some sleep. About 10 minutes later I felt a POP in my stomach and then a rapid gushing that didn’t stop or even slow down. My partner thought I was joking when I told him my waters had burst. He ran to find a midwife who came and saw my waters were green, then gave me gas and air and ran to get me a wheelchair. As I was being wheeled away, I turned to see the destruction I had left behind and oh my damn! The bed was covered and dripping onto the floor, which was just completely soaked. I was still leaking a small river as I was sat in this wheelchair apologising to these two poor women who looked like they had no idea what to do with their mops.
Then I pooped whilst contracting and the midwife hid it so I wouldn’t get embarrassed, but I couldn’t have given a fuck if I tried.
After I’d had my son I was so sore but thought, ‘ok I’ve just pushed an entire small human from my body so this is normal.’
A new midwife came to examine me as they thought I had a ‘small tear’. A ‘quick’ check of the vagina, and I jumped for the gas and air cause holy fuck why did that hurt so much?! A ‘quick’ check of the anus, and HOLY HELL WHAT IS HAPPENING.
Was told I had to be taken to theatre to be stitched up. And then I was left for 45 minutes, during which time I had to pee, TWICE. THROUGH OPEN WOUNDS. Hell fire.
I fell asleep while they were fixing me and later found out that I had torn EVERYTHING. Front to back, side to side, outside and inside, including muscles.
Can I just say how terrifying pooping was for such a long time. I had laxatives that were more to soften the poop than anything, and I STILL BURST MY STITCHES EVERY TIME.
The moral of this story is DAMN CHILDBIRTH, YOU SCARY.
TLDR; flooded a delivery suite when my waters broke, tore all my junk up including booty hole and everything. Pooping hurt. Clitoris still functional tho! Self-five!
