Check your labia post birth IN the hospital!

During natural childbirth, the baby coming out of the vagina is SO intense, I didn’t feel my labia Minora tear in half. The midwife said i had a minor graze which would heal itself. After childbirth I had to sit on ice for a few days as it was so swollen and sore. I never made the effort to get a mirror and have a look my self at what had happened. A week had passed I finally had a look, to see my Labia Minora had torn right down the middle and the bottom half hung down way beyond my outer lips. It hurt for months and I hated it for years. Over the years it has gotten smaller size but it still hurts if it is pulled during sex. If I can give any pregnant girl advice, it is have a look at your vulva with a mirror while you are still in the hospital and make sure you are okay with everything. As it would have been an easy stitch at the time, that could have saved me a lot of physical and mental pain.
