Subject : problems after an episiotomy

hello everyone,
i was hoping if anyone can help, i had forceps with my first baby and an episiotomy which i had problems healing afterwards. to be honest i can not really describe it. well after about 4 months i went to the doctor for a smear test and the doctor had a look down there, she said that it seemed too tight and there were a tiny thing at the end of my vigina, i have to say that i did noticed it and i can only describe it as a little vein or like a tissue that hasn't been stiched right and everytime we try to have an intercourse it hurts like hell. so my gp sent me back to the hospital saying that they will decide wether to take it off or restitch me again. i was so scared and did not understand what really happened to me or what really went wrong til now, any way i went back to the hospital and i can only desribe the operation as if someone is burning you alive to take that thing off. it was more painfull than giving birth.
i have to say it has affected me very much as i am pregnant again and expecting in august which is very close i am terrified of the whole thing again.
i talked to the consultant at the hospital to make sure that everything will go smoothley but i did not get any support or even an explanation of what happened, so i am really confused what to do, my husband told me to sue them but it seemed too late to do that plus i am only concerned about what will happen second time round.
please if anyone of you lovely ladies went through the same as me please help Sad
