I did it. Ended up having complications and it was too late to dope me up for an emergency c-section, so it was either deal with the pain and feel myself tear externally and internally or deal with birthing my baby girl dead or brain dead...I originally wanted to do it that way anyway. I wasn't supposed to tear until forceps came in to play, though. lol. It's mind over matter, hun. Tell yourself you can do it and it'll be easy. Tell yourself you can't and you'll focus on the pain too much.
