I had a third degree tear also and ripped some stitches trying to go #2....I ripped all the way from my vagina to my butt, it was just one big hole lol. Worst pain EVER
@lun2016, yea that stuff @happyliz everyone is different I had a 3rd degree tear (2% of births have this stage) and also pulled my inner thigh muscles. Walking was difficult for 3 weeks. But hurt for 8 weeks and wasn't fully healed for 10 weeks.
