No episiotomy, but i did naturally tear and it took some time to heal. Lots of transverse abdominis breathing and kegals!

Yes but if you can, specify in your birth plan that you’d rather tear naturally (If needed) or ensure your partner/doula advocates for you in that moment. It all happened so fast that I felt like I didnt have an option. It healed but it took me about 6 months to feel completely normal again.

yes and yes

No and yes. There’s a lot of info out there about the pros and cons so get informed and talk to your dr.

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon.

And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.
