Anyone second pregnancy already scared for labor recovery?

Question

As excited as I am to be pregnant with blessing #2, I keep thinking about labor and freaking myself out!  The labor itself doesn't scare me, it's a beautiful process as painful as it is, it's the recovery! I tore really bad last time, 3.5 degree and I was in pain for months!  Does anyone have any possitive stories on their second delivery after a rough first?

Answer

I had a really rough first delivery that ended in a c-section...my second was VBAC and I only had a teeny tear. my SIL also tore badly with the first and not at all with her second, even though he was almost 10 lbs! Don't let them do an episiotomy and push very gently and you will most likely do way better!! :) xoxo

Answer

I thought the second recovery was WAY better than the first. Truly. It's like your body says: "I've got this - I know what I am doing."

Answer

I tore in 3 different spots with my first and had apsolutely nothing the second

Answer

I had a third degree tear. I was wondering if that happens with the second one too.

Answer

I had a c-section with my first and it was really not so bad, I'm opting for that again for sure!!

Answer

What about a c section?
