Tearing third birth

I’m about to have my third baby in LESS than 3 years. My first baby was 8.1 and I had a second degree tear. My second baby was 12 months later and he was 9.6 LBS and I had NO tearing at all. Amazing recovery. I’m about to have my third 20 months later and I am so nervous to tear since my last was so much easier and I didn’t have to deal with that. Anyone not tear with second baby AND third? I’m hoping since my second was almost 10 lbs and no tearing , it gives me a good chance of not tearing 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Edit: baby was 8.15oz and I didn’t tear!

I’m curious too!! My first two I didn’t tear with, no stitches at all. I had surgery to remove cyst from down there and had stitches. Oh my, did that hurt and burn sooo bad!! I really would like to not have stitches again!

My babies were smaller but with my first my doctor assisted and tried to pull down so u wouldn’t tear (my epidural wasn’t working so I felt it 😂😭). My second was a different doctor who did not do that and I had a second degree tear. Second baby also came out face up so that might have helped with the tearing.
