Help Needed -- Struggling with Episiotomy (3Rd or 4Th Degree)
My wife delivered our 2nd son two days' ago. Our first was a C-section - she didn't dilate enough even after laboring for 8 hours. We were keen on VBAC & went for a doctor who was pro-VBAC. She had another long labor this (8am - 5:30pm) time; the dr. was willing to wait for the labor to proceed; not sure if he rushed once the baby was close to being delivered; the baby was 7lb. 15oz; he kept saying that it's a big baby and proceeded with epi; I heard the nurses say it was an "extension" & saying "is it better to have c-section or extension"...
