It is better to do an episiotomy than to apply

forceps to the head of the baby. Usually an instrumental delivery necessitates an episiotomy. I have never heard that a massage to the perineum is enough to substitute an episiotomy.

As for the episiotomy that is something - sm
you need to discuss with your doctor. Obviously they will do it if they think you are going to tear or are tearing badly. They knew I did not want one and luckily my body accommodated my wish and I did not need one either time. You need a good rapport with your doctor and let them know want you do and do not want in your delivery.
You CAN ask for an episiotomy
With my first child I had an episiotomy, second one I didn't have one and with the third child, I asked for one. I never had any problems from the stitches, but the burning pain with the passage of the baby's head without an episiotomy was the worst part of the whole birthing process. (All 3 were without anesthesia)
So, YES, you can ask for one!
You cannot 'ask' for an episiotomy,
the doctor decides at the time of your last contractions if this procedure is necessary. It depends if the vagina is widened enough so that the head of the baby can slide out. Also, a breech position asks usually for an episiotomy, in this case the doctor knows it beforehand per US, and also in case of an instrumental delivery.
I had an episiotomy with my 1st delivery, vagina too narrow and my pushing was too weak. They cut the perineum under local anesthesia and after my child was born they stitched it closed. They put me in a bed right to a faucet and every time I had the urge to pee, they let the water run down into the sink, full stream, that made me pee! I still remember that. On the 4th day I could go to the restroom, on the 5th I went home and the stitches dissolved on their own.
It is no big deal and it was not painful, after some days it was completely healed.
With my 2nd delivery I did not need an episiotomy, although it was an epidural.
After the baby is delivered, the pain is over and one feels sooooo good. I was hilarious and overwhelmed with the feeling
'I am a Mother!'
I think these were the happiest moments in my life,
EVER !
An instrumental delivery makes an episiotomy necessary..sm
Did you have to 'ask' for it?
But that doesn't apply to every
situation. In my case I got hit with something that was out of my control. I see where you are coming from because most times it is irresponsible spending and debt accruing that causes the problem but not always.
Lady - get a grip. You want me to apply because
you "dare" me to? Your weird and out of touch with reality.
Nice attitude, there. Can we apply that to MTs, too?!

She needs to apply for scholarships if she hasn't already.
My daughter did that and with the multiple scholarships that she got it covers nearly all of her cost and I pay the difference.
check out all scholarships that may apply plus
student loans. Scholarships and student loans and a few contest wins (ie, writing) got our daughter through professional school. She graduated this last May. If she wants it bad enough, it can certainly be done. p.s., i bet they teach a little more than you are giving them credit for!
After vacation, go to facility and apply? This might

If U do apply for job, approach that facility and U

She mentioned the car. You go apply for food stamps, sm
and see what it takes to qualify. Maybe you will enjoy that experience. You have no idea. Go ahead, I dare you. Take all you receipts down there, and you children's birth certificates, and all your utility bills, etc, etc. You will see just how great it is to apply for food stamps, and exactly what you get for that.
Too bad your opinion doesn't apply to children.
LOL
Ladies, how did you learn to apply makeup?
How have you changed the way you wear makeup as you have aged? What do you wear and tell me how you apply it? I've never worn makeup except for awhile in high school and I'm thinking that I'm needing some color in my face now that I've aged (what a horrid word that is!!). The thing is, I know NOTHING about it. Tell me everything I need to know so I won't end up looking like a clown!! PLEASE.
These same issues apply to all message boards.

I have heard you can apply hot pepper to plants

Right, but a lot do apply Botox around the mouth area and
on top of this they get collagen injecting into their lips and then they get this fish-lip look with a masky face.
Especially aging actresses!
Eeeewww!
Depending on where you live, there are "scholarships" that you can apply for such as the McKay
scholarship, which cover most, if not all, of the cost of a private school, if you would like to go that route. The school itself can provide you with this type of information, where and how to apply, most of the time online. Many times they have church and non-church affiliated private schools that you can choose from.
Anyone know organizations where people can apply for donated cars? (sm)
I am trying to help a family that is in desperate need of a vehicle so that the dad can keep his job and take care of his family. They live far enough out that there are no buses and no one to carpool with. I know there are organizations who can help. Can anyone direct me? Thank you so much in advance.
Nope, you gotta put your thinking cap on, doesn't apply
If you reach full retirement age, that is what I have reached, no money is taken back from you from SS. If you take early retirement (it was 65, now with my year 66 and increasing)then you are limited as to how much you can make and I heard SS takes $2 of every 3. There is no limit when you get to full retirement and I am there!!
