I am not pregnant, just wondering after talking with a friend about it.
-
I'm curious too!!
-
Oh... following. And really hoping people say no.
-
Had tears all upwards with my first, but only one tiny little tear with my second. They were the same size almost exactly!
-
Just a little and she was a pound bigger. 9 lbs+
-
I had some slight internal tearing with #1. Didn't tear at all with #2.
-
3rd degree with dd
2nd with DS.Postpartum healing wasnt bad for either though.
-
I had significant tearing with #1 (3rd degree), but just one stitch with #2. But I also had vastly different birth experiences with the both of them. #2 was bigger than #1, but #1 was born with a fist at her face. I also had a water birth with an incredibly supportive midwife for #2 who effectively coached me through pushing/ring of fire business. So, for whatever that's worth.
-
Following. This is making me feel better. I had a 2nd degree tear and really hated recovery. I honestly thought recovery was worse than my (med free) labor.
-
My friend tore with her first and not at all for her 2nd or 3rd!
-
Tore end to end with my first, one stitch with my second and none with my third.
-
This is encouraging! I really hated pp recovery; if I ever have another, I hope to God it's easier the second time around! Baby girl had her hand on her face, so that may have been part of the issue...
-
Both times, the degree and location was the same, per my 2nd OB!
-
2nd degree tear with #1
No tear with #2 - super easy recovery.They were both about the same size at birth!
-
Small tear with DS1 (no stitches needed). No tearing with DS2 and super easy recovery.
-
The answers in this thread are making me feel a lot better!
