Does everyone get stitches after giving birth?

No, not everyone gets stitches after giving birth. Whether or not someone will need stitches after giving birth depends on several factors, including the elasticity of the vaginal tissues, the size of the baby, and the type of delivery. While many women do get some tearing during childbirth, not all tears require stitches. If the tear is minor and is likely to heal on its own without causing discomfort or complications, the healthcare provider may decide not to use stitches.
