As far as I'm aware yes, it's standard practice. Nothing to worry about though, I had one and came back clear the worst part was the lucozade...bleugh :)
 
If you need to get cut (sorry can't remember the proper name) when you are giving birth, where exactly do they cut you? And does it sting to pee after giving birth whether you needed the cut or not (I'd imagine so) xxxx

It is called episiotomy and it seems to vary where they cut you I think. I was cut at the side towards my bum. Yes it stings like hell when you pee. I didnt have one with my second just a small graze no stitches and that still stung.
Sorry for being blunt

It can't hurt to start doing pelvic floors straight away - I do a few at every meal to remind myself!

You basically need to find the muscles that you use when you start and stop peeing, and then practice holding and releasing them slowly. My MW said if it helps you can imagine going up in a lift 3 floors, then waiting at the top whilst some people get in and out, then going back down in the lift! Whatever works I guess...

What is a GTT? :oooo:

Glucose Tolerance Test, it's a test for gestational diabetes. If you have a high bmi you have a higher risk of getting gestational diabetes, which can cause complications such as a larger baby.
 
I had an episiotomy and it didn't sting me to pee afterwards. I didn't have any grazes or tears though

As to where they cut me I know the general area but haven't had a look yet!!
 
Buy a plastic jug and everytime you wee after giving birth pour warm water over your bits and it dilutes the pee and stops the sting. I had a second degree tear and graze and it made it much more comfortable for me to wee - and it helps keep your stitches clean at the same time!

Another tip I found helps with the stinging was to lean forward on the loo, put your hands on the floor if you can - I had no joy wit the water - but I had grazes, so possibly in a different place. Xxx
 
ouchies this all sounds very painful...but good to know in advance! x
