[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a 4th degree tear with my first and my second came out easily with a tiny tear. My recovery for the first was terrible, second I was back on my horse a week after giving birth! No way I would elect surgery instead. Both 9 lb big babies.[/quote] I’m so glad you had a choice. Please respect the choices of others that may be different than yours. For me, a scheduled C section after a forceps birth that caused me to have severe birth injuries, prolapse, anal incontinence, PTSD, and nerve damage was the right choice. I was happy to protect my nerves and whatever was left of my anal sphincter and not risk worsening my injuries and causing retraumatizarion with a second labor. Recovery was straightforward and much easier than I expected. And so much easier than the multi-year recovery that I had with a bad vaginal birth. Everyone is different. most women after 4th degree tear are recommended to have a C section. [/quote]
