My babe is now 15 months old and I am JUST beginning to stomach the idea of another pregnancy (beginning!).<br /><br />PS - I saw the pictures of Home Depot love today....*le sigh*!

You're like my Franken-vaj sistah. I'm seriously re-thinking baby #3. Yikes. Thanks for the awesome and honest blog post. Made my night.

My second came flying out and it took the midwife an hour to sew me back together. I couldn't walk for a week, but I could hold my toddler.<br/>I was fortunate. Part of why it took an hour was because she was very fastidious, even got another doctor to assist, and both being women, they wanted to make sure they did it right. (They knew what they were dealing with.)<br/>I'm really sorry for what you're going through. Mine was all internal, so pretty straight forward. I can't imagine the diagram made you feel any better about the situation. Oh ouch!

Frankenvulva sounds eerily familiar because I had something very similar happen with the birth of my first child. <br/>So, I found the post about your son's birth. It brought back so many visceral memories from my daughter's birth, I started feeling faint. She was born within a similar time frame - my OB called it "precipitous labor" or somesuch euphemism. <br/>I saw stars. While reading your post. And my daughter turns 10 soon.
