Would you look?

I had two second degree tears and did not want to see, I did however ask DH to look to see how far back my stitches went to see how far I could wipe to. I think I would pass out if I saw them. Poor DH, he's a trooper

I probably would be too curious and would take a peek...and then I'd be very sad for my parts.

I have a second degree tear and I totally looked! It was scary but could have been worse

Mom2bois85

My poor cousin tore in 3 places, all were 3rd degree tears, she told me her son "ripped her a new asshole" it could be worse!

I had a 3rd degree with ds.

Nope I didn't look. And I won't look this time either. Not interested.

No. No, no, no, no, no. ETA no idea where these damn smileys are coming from. Nothing to smile about.

No thank you. My SIL encouraged me to get a mirror, as it was encouraging for her when she knew she was making progress, but I just don't think I could.

Don't look now; wait a few weeks!

Looked after DD and probably will this time. It really wasn't as bad as I expected.

I wouldn't look. I don't do well with medical things and can't even look at a skinned knee without almost passing out.

I had an episiotomy and did not look. Stitches really gross me out so I have no desire to see what it looks like.

No desire to look. My OB kept trying to get me and my husband to feel his head crown and i think feeling or seeing the situation would have freaked me out more. I got a 2nd degree tear and I think it would hurt more if I knew what it looked like. I did look at the placenta and that was very cool!
