[quote=Anonymous][quote=Mjenae]Hey all, OP here. Thanks for the feedback and the concern. It was a frustrating ordeal. I talked with the OB who did my repair quite a bit about it. She had no connection to the doctor who performed the original stitch. She did imply that she believed carelessness or poor education was  involved for something to the extent of my stitch to occur, but also explained how swollen a woman is after birth. She said it is not always obvious how to restitch some of those tears when the patient is so swollen, and without having been in the room, there is no way to know for sure what happened.. The truth is, we LOVED the OB who delivered our baby. He was A young guy, very personable, very careful about making sure I felt I was in control and understood every step of the labor. I’m not interested in attempting to prove in court that what he did was intentional, as I myself am far from convinced that was the case.

I think my big takeaway here was that you have to advocate for yourself. The fact that it was 14 months before someone told me what might actually be wrong is infuriating, and caused  something that could have been a quick fix to affect my life dramatically for a year and a half. You know your body, and if something doesn’t feel right, don’t take no for an answer. I wish I had pushed harder earlier for an answer. [/quote]

Thanks for the update! Where did you give birth? [/quote]
