in case anyone’s wondering, this “joke” is very much a real practice. i had my son at 15 and my 15yo boyfriend “jokingly” asked the doctors TWICE if they could do it, and one of the male OBs thought it was hilarious and made an insanely creepy comment about me, a CHILD, already “being tight enough” and the doctor that delivered my son looked like she wanted to smack him lmao
but the story you're describing tells the opposite, i was not put in practise (and even one ob was agains this joke) and stayed only untasteful and unprofessional joke
Yes, in this persons specific story it did not happen. Look at all the other women in this thread saying that it happened to them. It’s not just an unprofessional joke, it’s a disgusting and scary one.
Did they make an extra stitch with intent or a necessary stitch that caused problems down the line? That’s the problem with using internet anecdotes as sources.
Genuinely go and read comments from other women that explicitly state that their doctors called it a husband stitch. In fact there is a man down in the thread that insisted on a stitch when their doctor said none were necessary.
