Im a first time mother and im wondering...
Ive read that doctors will cut the vagina opening a little so that the birth is easier and that we dont tear. After that, the doctor will stitch u back.
Is it possible to ask the doctor to stitch me up more, as in tighter, so that the vagina opening will be tighter.
Honestly, i dont want to be loose... and i do know that kegal exercises help.
Since im not an expert, can someone tell me... if ur loose to a guy, does that mean the vagina opening is loose? or the inside is loose? I seriously have no idea...?

*Thanks for the answers :) Yes i do know the question is kinda stupid, but its my first time having a baby, and i dont know much about what i had asked.... so i had to ask.
I always thought that having a baby will make you looser... the more babies u have, the looser you get.
Well i will definitely do the kegal exercises!
Thanks :D *

I have had 2 babies thus far and am pregnant with my 3rd. I can tell you that for me, an extra stitch was absolutly not neccesary. After all that trauma, my body responded with amazing elasticity and i was actually smaller than i was before. Either way, don't ask for extra stitches, the doc probably won't do it because a normal sized opening is important for having more babies, and periods and such. And your body is an amazing thing, it can nourish a baby for nine months, it can recover size and shape after pregnancy. Not right away, and you might have to work at it, just like the extra lbs left on your tummy, but it will be fine. Don't worry about it.

Vaginal Stitches After Birth

I know people may laugh but it's a thought that many, many women have had so don't be embarrassed. Actually the doctor stitched my sister up a little further than before she gave birth to her first child and there were no noticeable changes to her or her husband. So to answer you, no. Stitching the vagina a little more closed than before will not make you feel "tighter" to a guy. It would only tighten the opening but in an unnoticeable way. The inside of your vagina is what may feel loose after time but don't fret because after you give birth your vagina (inside and out) will return to normal size. Kegel exercises, as you mentioned, is the best way to tighten the walls of the vagina. Having a baby doesn't make you loose.

My mother had to have this done when she had me in 1970. She said she had no discomfort at all. She remembered she was awake and they let her hold her baby while this was being done. She did not mention if she had the stitches removed so I am assuming that she didn't have to as there were very few other details she left out :) I was a tiny baby, so it was done to assist my mother's birth process as she was small.

this is a good question and u need to discuss this with your doctor and make an informed decision together bearing in mind the side effects , i had a forcep delivery and i got a lot more stitches than usual but i was lose inside , till 2-3 years passed and my body went back to normal on its own . Yes , it did effect the "feel" of making love but things went back to normal. Eitherways u can always explore the options with ur doctor.

LOL you had to ask? That is an age old myth and an ongoing joke. It's called and apeziatomy (severly misspelled, sorry-no spell check offered). Extra stitching will not change the size of your vagina. Your guy won't even know it happened. You will shrink back to the size you were before.

You don't HAVE to elect for them to do an episiotomy! This is only going to matter if you tear. If they overstitch you, it'll hurt when that piece of skin is rubbed on while having sex and it won't make you any tighter than you were to start with. You will go back to your pre labour size, and working your pelvic floor muscles will help you get there. If he thinks it's a bit loose, then he likely has a small penis. Don't be upset about this, it's not something you need to worry about, he's going to be over the moon with the baby!

Well...lol....I don't think they would stitch you "tighter" but you can always ask.
It really wouldn't make that big of a difference anyway, if you want to tighten things up you really need to exercise the pelvic floor...not the skin around the opening :)

The dr. isn't going to stich you up more than what is needed. After a few months you will tighten back up. You will feel loose but the guy won't know the difference. At lease my dh didn't. I never did any kegals.

No most doctors will not stich up more than they have to. your body will heal all by itself to predelivery stages. You can't have sex until your doctor says it is ok (this is normally by your six week check up after delivery)keep it dry and do the suds bath regularly (they will tell you what to do in post delivery)showers only no baths! nothing going in your vagina- to prevent infection! The procedure to cut a little is call episodomey SP?)This is an optional procedure (it depends on how far along your are before they do this (normally before you get to ten cms) only time and kegal exercises will heal completely, your man will not notice any difference in tightness.
