The infamous post-birth procedure—in which doctors suture the vaginal entrance narrower than necessary without the patient's consent—is just one of the ways in which women are mistreated during and after childbirth.
Saaame. The only time I got close to thinking I found the right guy to have a kid with, I brought up my concerns about pregnancy and mistrust of doctors. His take on that was: “If you don’t want kids tell me now so I don’t waste my time.”
My man does want kids, but is not only sympathetic to and respectful of my not wanting to produce any, but is properly horrified at how women are treated by the medical community.
The day he learned not only about the Husband Stirch, but that some doctors just give women the Stitch without bothering to ask even the husband, assuming the husband would be thrilled and the wife didn’t matter, he just about blew a gasket. We’ve decided to adopt instead.
And people wonder why I don’t want to have kids…

I noped out of there and have no regrets.

Good on you guys. It’s an absolute shame that the medical establishment forced your hand but fantastic you have such a supportive partner.
