[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It could be from pap smears.  Some people are just very prone to scarring, even from minor things.  Agree you should get a second opinion.[/quote]

I never had one prior to my 6 week pp one.

I did talk to the OB during that appointment and she said that the scarring had been minimized by the dilation.  She didn't think anything of it during labor when she checked (only once) because she assumed I'd had a LEEP or biopsy or something.

So I guess it's a dead end.[/quote]

OP, this is the first person who posted.

I am concerned that because your OB "assumed I'd had a LEEP or biopsy" that you now feel, since you did not ever have those procedures, that the scarring must indeed be from abuse. If that's where you're going in your mind -- please get the opinion of another gynecologist.

Did you directly ask the OB about the sexual abuse comment the midwife made, or did you just say, "What's this scarring all about?" ? I know my ob/gyn well enough that I'd have told her exactly what the midwife said, and asked the gyn.'s opinion. Did you tell the OB what was said to you, and did you set the OB straight and say, "No, I have not had any such procedures that could have scarred me, so now I am worried that I might have been abused, based on this midwife's comment"? If you didn't come out and tell the OB about the abuse comment, and just waited to see whether the OB mentioned it unsolicited -- I really would ask the OB or your ob/gyn about it much more directly, and explain why you are so concerned.

Maybe you did have that conversation -- I hope so.

I'm just concerned that you haven't really gotten an answer that either sets your mind at rest or gives you real, objective, professionally valid reason to pursue anything.
