3rd degree tear

Tee • 👧🏾👦🏽👦🏽

So with my first daughter in 2015 I had a 3c degree tear which is basically the almost 4th. There is a risk of me tearing again. But I fear having a c-section. Has anyone had a really bad tear and then gone on to have a natural birth afterwards with little to no problems afterwards? I’m so nervous.xx
