Will I tear with my second child if I did with my first?

Alexis • 💙Brantley Paul👶🏻

So, with my son, I pushed for 3 hours and they finally had to use forceps to get him out. Well, I tore pretty bad (all the way down to my anus and some on my outer Labia) second degree tear. I want another baby but I’m SO scared I’ll tear again in the same way or worse... I feel like it would have been easier for me if he wasn’t stuck.

Any of you mommas tear with your first, but not your second?
