So i hsve a 9 year old daughter that was 9 pounds and 5 onces when she was born. I had 3rd degree tearing it was freaking horrible. I couldn't sit down without pain for at lest 6 months. I am now 11 weeks pregnant with my second and my gyno has recommended a c section because I already have so much scaring and problems from my daughter and I so can't go though that again. I know c section is major op but 3rd degree tearing is horrible. Has anyone had the same sort of exparance? What would you choose? Most people seem to think I'm being stupid even thinking about it but none of them has had a similar experience so they just don't get it....
