[quote=Anonymous]I had a bad 2nd degree tear after my first baby, and I’m curious about the likelihood of tearing with this second delivery? When I google this question I mostly get articles about the risk of a severe 3rd/4th degree tear for people who had those tears the first time. I’d love to see the statistics like “X percent of women have 2nd degree tears in their first labor, and of those women, Y percent have 2nd degree tears with baby #2, and Z percent of them have 1st degree tearing etc...” does this question make sense? I realize there’s literally no way to know how this will go down, tearing, C-section, etc... but I still want some anecdotes and data. If you had a pretty uneventful vaginal delivery with a second degree tear with baby #1, how was it with baby #2? I don’t know if I’m less stretchy now because there might be scar tissue or if I’m more stretchy because I already had a baby! [/quote]
