[quote=Anonymous]I had a bad second degree tear as well as an internal laceration, and the healing for it all was complicated and painful. Like you, I didn't end up with long term effects, but it wasn't a walk in the park either. You had an even worse tear than me and it sounds like there is a possibility of a repeat or even worse. In your shoes, I'd go with a scheduled C. For a lot of people, the recovery from a scheduled C (not an emergency one, which is a whole other ballgame) is quite a bit easier than a vaginal recovery with a tear. And, the long term consequences of a C versus a really bad tear are much more minor, if any. The only thing that would give me pause is if you wanted to have many more children, because there is a limit to how many Cs you can safely have. But if this is your last or next to last kid then that's an easier decision. [/quote]
