The “husband stitch” or “daddy stitch” is an outdated medical practice involving an extra stitch during vaginal repair following childbirth. It’s considered unethical, objectifying, and medically unnecessary. | Tinystep Telugu

Have you heard of this? The husband stitch (or the husband’s stitch) is not just a disgusting childbirth myth. This used to be done much more commonly in the times when episiotomies were done more commonly. And YES…I still have had partners make the comment to the OBGYN to add in an extra stitch for their enjoyment.

She Got The Husband Stitch Just moments after Jaqueline gave birth to her baby, a doctor stitched up her vagina, without her consent. At the time, she was completely unaware of what had been done to her. Now she lives with the consequences and talks about the toll it took on her health and her sex life. | Seen Parents

1️⃣ The husband stitch is an extra vaginal stitch after childbirth, done to tighten the vaginal opening for a man’s pleasure. 2️⃣ It has zero medical benefits and can cause severe pain, scarring, and discomfort. 3️⃣ Many women aren’t even told it’s being done to them which is a violation of consent. 4️⃣ It makes postpartum recovery worse, not better. 5️⃣ Women’s bodies aren’t meant to “return to normal” for anyone else’s benefit. 6️⃣ This practice is unethical and harmful medical care should foc

The “husband stitch” is not a gross remnant from the past. It’s still happening. It’s the practice of stitching up a postpartum woman’s perineum a little more tightly than is necessary for the added “pleasure” of her male partner. 🤮 I recently had a pregnant teen mom reach out to me because she is scared to give birth vaginally. Why is she scared? She doesn’t want to be “loose” after childbirth. She confided saying she was very preoccupied with this concern about her future intimate relationshi

For years women have talked about something called the “husband stitch.” Some say doctors joked about adding an extra stitch after childbirth to make things “tighter.” Medical organizations say this isn’t acceptable practice today. But thousands of women say they experienced severe pain afterward and were told it was “normal.” When thousands of women describe the same experience… maybe the response shouldn’t be dismissal. Maybe the response should be listening. Women in the comments — had you ev
