i ended up with another 3rd degree, but only just! the tear wasnt as bad. think the only reason i tore badly this time was cos she came out so quick, literally in minutes!!

have you seen a consultant about it? mine told me you're not at any more risk of tearing again, in fact its a bit less cos you're already stretched lmao!!

Got a consultant app on 14th Jan, as paranoid about my scar. The 'area' is already aching with carrying this baby, and she's only 31+5 days

I was the lowest level of 3rd degree tear aswell, but just not an experience I want to repeat.
