C-section after bad tear

Ka

If you’ve delivered vaginally before and had a 3rd degree tear are they making you have a c-section? I’m 37+3 and was talking to my doctor today about how I had a 3rd degree tear with my 1st (different doctors office) and she requested the notes from my delivery. I feel like I mentioned to her before that I had a 3rd degree tear. I really don’t want a C-section especially with everything going on.
