tears and 2nd pregnancies

mam082711

does anyone have experience with having had a tear (specifically 3rd bc that is what i had) with their first and how did your second delivery go? did you have a c-section or did you tear again with a vaginal delivery? just curious bc i asked my dr today at my 6wk pp visit how the tear may affect the next pregnancy and she said it all depends on the baby's size, how fast s/he comes out, etc. But I'm just curious as to others' experiences. thanks!

I had an episiotomy and tore with my first. He was 9lbs 9oz. With this kid I had no episiotomy and I tore just a little. I think I had maybe 3 stitches, but had no Idea till the doc told me. My daughter weighed 7lbs 10.5oz
