This is my second baby & I'm scared to death of the tearing part. My first was a second degree & it was so very painful. The epidural made me not feel hardly anything at all but I'm more worried about tearing and bleeding out. I was terrified with my first but I made out okay with complications with bleeding at the end. They were able to stop the blood. This pregnancy has already been a lot different so I'm anxious about how birth will go. I am already experiencing longer low back pain episodes. So I'm just wondering if this is a good sign or not!?
