Hey canadian moms... i have a question.... ever since my first birth i always felt like my lady bits looked a little different. Not bad per se but it feels like i had a cut and am not even aware of ut? You know that cut they do that starts with e? I did have epidural at the time so if they did cut i didnt feel it. Are they not supposed to ask me if im ok with it? This was back in 2012. I have no idea if Humber River even keeps records of it. I dont think it was done with my second birth since i dont see no visible difference but ... its kinda upsetting they do stuff without asking or telling us? I was so young and naive at the time so i would have probably caved in anyway but still. I fee like these hospitals
Rush births and it stresses mom and baby more.

Is it possible that they did ask and you don’t remember? I don’t remember them saying anything about it (or loads of other things that needed to happen) to me but my partner said they did ask and explain it

They didn't tell me they used a vacuum on my baby during a c section.

Episiotomy and yes they should’ve asked for consent. I feel like thats something they should’ve included in your charts. Worth a call so you can know for sure! I can understand that must feel super invasive if you don’t remember being asked about it
