[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve said it on numerous threads which are all the same. Heated discourse, personal anecdotes, but the data shows most women will have an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. But for those in the unlucky 2-3% who’ve had muscles torn off the bone that can’t be reattached and for which there is no cure - we’d prefer c-sections. I wasn’t even aware through all my research or appts during pregnancy that you tear so badly that no amount of stitching, surgery, or PT could repair it.[/quote]Yes, I was referring to bilateral complete avulsion. With partial there’s still a hope of strengthening remaining muscle and with unilateral the odds of severe prolapse are greatly reduced.

It’s actually around 20 percent of women who experience levator ani avulsion from vaginal birth. It’s far more common than 2-3 percent. Some stats are even higher, over 1/3.

As someone who has this, there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t have issues with my body and that I don’t wish I had a c-section.
