๐จโ๏ธ โWAITโฆ THEY CAN CUT DURING DELIVERY?โ ๐ณ๐
Yes mamaโฆ there is a medical procedure called episiotomy ๐ถ
But here is what you REALLY need to know ๐
๐ก WHAT IT IS
A small cut made between the vaginal opening and perineum to help baby come out safely in specific situations.
โ ๏ธ IMPORTANT TRUTH
It is NOT routine anymore in most hospitals
It is only done when medically necessary ๐ฉโโ๏ธ
๐จ WHEN IT MAY BE NEEDED: ๐ถ Baby is in distress
โฑ๏ธ Delivery must happen urgently
๐งท Assisted delivery is needed
๐ Severe uncontrolled tearing risk
๐ค WHAT MANY MOMS DONโT KNOW: ๐น Most births do NOT need this cut
๐น The decision is made in the moment for safety
๐น It is done with pain control when possible
๐น Healing usually happens well with proper care
๐ฉบ RECOVERY SUPPORT: โ๏ธ Keep the area clean and dry
โ๏ธ Ice packs for swelling
โ๏ธ Pain relief if prescribed
โ๏ธ Warm water cleansing (sitz baths)
โ๏ธ Gentle movement when advised
๐ REAL TRUTH: Birth is not about avoiding every possibilityโฆ
Itโs about: โค๏ธ Safe mother
๐ถ Safe baby
๐ค Timely medical decisions
And every birth is differentโno two stories are the same.
