My Worst Injury {Summer #BlogChallenge}

When I was planning this post, I was honestly stuck.  I have never really had any injuries or at least nothing really worth blogging about.  One injury I did not like having was an episiotomy. An episiotomy is an incision that is made between the vaginal opening and anus during delivery.  A few things bothered me about my episiotomy:

  1. The doctor did not say, "I'm going to be giving you an episiotomy."  It wasn't until after my daughter was born, that I found out.
  2. My daughter was not showing any signs of distress.  I had been pushing for less than 2 hours.  The doctor was impatient and most likely wanted to go eat dinner instead of waiting longer.
Thankfully, I don't seem to have any complications from the episiotomy, but for my next birth, I plan on making my choices clearer to my health care provider.
