[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4th degree tear here. Had some trouble sitting for a couple weeks after and of course they wouldn't let me exercise or anything for 8 weeks. But otherwise everything healed fine. Are you considering a c-section?[/quote] I'm totally game for having one if the doctor suggests it. Is that recovery any easier?[/quote] I was really surprised at how quickly I recovered from the C section. I was released after 48 hours and was made pancakes the next morning. Never needed any pain meds other than Advil. I know others have wildly different stories so I felt very lucky. After my 4th degree tear, and given the way that I tore (from the inside out before the baby was even through), my midwife suggested I consider a C section. I struggled with the decision, and ended up getting a C section at 40 weeks. I don't have any regrets.[/quote]
