anyone had a homebirth after 3rd degree tear??


just wondering if anyone's had a homebirth after having a 3rd degree tear?

i'd love a homebirth with #2, but tore so badly with katie i'm not sure its possible!! i've googled and read some success stories, but just wanted to see if anyone on here's experienced it!

Don't have any experience but maybe a waterbirth would help to prevent another tear? Someone posted a link in second tri to a website where you can ask midwives questions online - www.midwivesonline.com - maybe they can help? Failing that your local director of midwifery services should be able to tell you ehat their current policy is. Good luck.

I had a 4th degree tear and would never consider it. I really hope it works out for you though.
