Do you tear more the second time around or just depends? I had a first degree tear with my first but kinda getting a little nervous as I'm getting closer lol...
That depends on your baby's size lol. My daughter was only 5 pounds and didn't tear me.
@momofboth my son was 5LBS 15oz and this one is measuring two LBS rn so maybe when I get closer I'll know lol thanks mama
My last baby was 8 pounds 15 ounces and i didnt tear i had to get stitches with my other 2. Im not sure but i think raspberry leaf tea helped soften my cervix i statted drinking a cup a day when i was 30 weeks and just taking my time during labor with pushing once his head was out my pushing wasnt so hard i felt like with my older son getting his shoulders out was the hardest and thats what tore me. So i just took it easy this time.
@tyrellp did you have no epi? I wanna go natural this time, did you get that 'ring of fire'?
I tried to hold off on getting epidural but i just couldnt do it lol i ended up getting epidural and it was the first time its worked for me it was awesome! And no back pain after ward
@tyrellp they say the ring of fire is when the head is coming out it feels like I guess a Ring of Fire lmao but I think that's the hardest part is the head so once the head comes out everything else just slides right out lol
@tyrellp now that I think about it I think the only reason why I got that epidural is because the guy came in that does it and said if I wanted it later I'd have to wait until he's finished with all the other women and that kind of scared me because I felt like what if I needed it he wouldn't be there so I just ended up opting for it
Yeah i had to wait what seemed like forever lol this is my last baby and it took longer to heal i bled more and had bad aches and pains accompanied by fevers and chills for 2 weeks after 😖. My doctor told me with your third it is usually a little more rough with healing. But i got through it 😁 lol
It depends on your baby’s size, lol. I tore a little with my first and she was a tiny 5lbs. 14oz. little girl. With my second, it was a 4th degree tear because he was a big 10 pound baby. Currently, pregnant with my third and she’s already measuring ahead so I’m a little nervous. 😫
@tyrellp, it’s what it feels like when your baby is crowing and the widest part of the head is coming out. It literally burns like fire. Lol it’s definitely not fun.. but on the bright side it only lasts a short bit.
My first gave me a 3rd degree tear and she was 5.12 with my second I didn’t tear at all and she was 7lbs
@tegandavis16 short bit liiiiiike...? How many seconds we talking??? Lol
@mother.of.2 the head was the hardest part for me. I did natural this time
@mother.of.2, welllllll..... looking back it wasn’t long but at the time it seemed like forever 😂 it wasn’t more than a few minutes though
@mother.of.2 very painful not gonna lie. Everyone said to just relax ans breath thrw it but i couldn't calm my self down. I was screaming and yelling. I also got induced tho and was told that makes it more painful. But the healing part and recovery was so much easier!
@caseysmommy92 yea I got induced the first time but my water broke before hand but I heard that too, I'm hoping I don't this time because I really wanna try. That dang guy just kinda scared me when he said I'd have to wait and then made it seem like there was a lot of woman after me. (Which in my head there was because I didn't know in all reality lol)
@mother.of.2, I’m sorry! Lol it’s really not bad. I would gladly have another natural labor. Was it painful, absolutely. More than you can imagine. BUT there is something so powerful about letting you body do what it’s made to do. And I just held on to the fact that I was so close to the end and at the end I would have my beautiful baby in my arms.
My first was natural, my second was a cesarean, and I’m hoping for natural again this time 😊
@mother.of.2 they had to pop ny water.and girl no joke right after they poped it nit even 2 mins later my contractions got insanely painful and she was born 20 mins later
I had episiotomy with both mine so it was much better them tearing. My Dr said the scar should stretch pretty good during labor so u may stretch more.... or just tell them.to cut you instead of.tearing if u have an epidural

I think it just depends, but I tore less.
