I told my then husband under no terms was the doctor to perform a husband stitch. I made it clear that an episiotomy was the last fucking resort and I was very outspoken about it. That I would rather have a c-section than that because of the abuses I’ve endured at doctor’s hands.
Thank fuck I avoided that, but it’s atrocious that it still happens.
It's insane you even have to self-advocate against unnecessary mutilation.
