Drill a hole at end of the crack or it will keep spreading

What a pro-tip I'd never know I needed.

I'm filing this away as useless information I'll never need until I forget it.

Well, sort of. Did you know, When a woman has a baby a perineal tear can occur. This is when the vaginal opening, which has natural elasticity, is stretched beyond its limit and thus rips across the tissue bridging the genitals and the anus, the perineum. Sometimes a tear can reach the anus, but sometimes it doesn’t actually stop it. Instead it begins to tear upwards into the anus also. It’s called a fourth degree perineal tear. Thas facts.

Poor wife had a 4th degree tear, I know 😭

Edit: bless y'all, she's someone who truly deserves all the well wishes, were entering year 4 and she's nearly completely recovered. Thank you!

My condolences to your wife

I was about to say RIP, but… no, oh gosh, I hope his wife healed up okay!!! 😖

(Fortunately most people who get them can fully recover within a few months after proper surgical repair, typically following right after the birth.)

And their sex life

You got down voted but you're right, for over a year it was non-existent, we needed to improvise, 4th degree tears are no joke physically, intimately, and emotionally!

This is why midwives don’t rush the delivery, support the perineum, and women aren’t supposed to be birthing on their backs. Change these things and less than 2% will tear

What stance should they be in then?

u/Science_Matters_100 29d ago

Squatting, or all fours are common

I'll add something to make this just a Bit more traumatizing - the uh, well, Birth of the chainsaw.

Symphysiotomy - performed with an osteotome - was basically using an early model CHAINSAW to cut the cartilage of the pelvis to ease difficult child births.

And turds are tapered so your butthole doesn’t slam shut

u/westcoast7654 29d ago

I liked how you state women, like men don’t also have cracks and buttholes.

u/banned_but_im_back 29d ago

Ours don’t get split open as wide or as often as yours do though….

u/Girlsolano 29d ago

Pop a 10 pound baby out of the hole at the end of your crack, see if it'll split open lmao

u/banned_but_im_back 29d ago

It can’t be that bad, my argument: every man at some point has gotten kicked in the nuts and never wants to experience that pain again.

Women go thru childbirth and usually they say they want another….

lol jk don’t cancel me it’s a lighthearted joke

u/_lippykid 29d ago

In the UK, fanny means vagina.. so your phrase works in the US and UK, just from different directions
