Hello all just wondering if any 2nd time mums didn’t rip or rip as bad as they did with their first?

I had a third degree with my daughter and ngl it seemed to take for ages to heal and was super painful for a long time.

I spoke to my consultant and asked what the chance is of it doing it again and she couldn’t say only that it might be worth asking to get cut instead as they heal faster.

My question is tho why would I want to be cut when I might not rip at all idk did you find a cut easier then rip to heal?
