If you tore with your first, how was your second delivery?

Question

I had a 3rd degree tear with my son. He was born at 40 weeks and 8.13. What is the likely good that I’ll tear this bad again?! Tell me your experiences .

Answer

Tore with my first, barely a scratch with my second and third.

Answer

Tore with 1st but not any others...now on baby 6

Answer

3rd degree tear w/episiotomy with my first, 7lb12oz & 20 inches long. 20hr labor.
2nd degree tear with no episiotomy with my second, 7lb6oz & 21 inches long. 5hr labor.
Hoping I don’t tear with this baby....I swear the vaginal healing is worse than labor itself!!

Answer

Thanks girls! I appreciate everyone sharing their experiences.

Answer

My friend had her daughter (8,6 pound)and tore pretty bad.
She had her second baby this summer (big boy 10.9) and she did not get any tearing 😊 
You never know!

Answer

They cut me very deep with the first one, not a single tear from giving birth with the second.  Thanks to giving birth on a birthing pool ;)

Answer

I had an episiotomy with my first and tire exactly the same way with my second.

Answer

I was cut with my first she was only 6 lbs 10 oz, with my second i ripped she was 7 lbs 14 oz..... im guessing if you second is smaller than your first it wont be so bad, im on my 3rd and hope its not bigger than the second

Answer

50/50 either way
