Hi everyone,
I’m pregnant with my second baby and had a vaginal birth with a 3rd degree tear with my first baby. I’m trying to decide whether I should have a C-section this time or go for a vaginal birth.
Can everyone tell me what their experience has been? Did you have a better or worse experience? Did you get a third degree tear again?

much better the second time around. I only needed 1 stitch.

1st time was episiotomy and 3rd degree tear and 2nd time was a few stitches. Baby no.1 was 1lb bigger though and more awkward coming out.
