Hi mommies. Would like to know if anyone experience subsequent vaginal deliveries after previous 3rd degree perineal tear? I sustained 3rd degree perineal tear with my first born (delivered 1 year ago), and Im expecting to deliver my second in approx 3 months time. Would like to know if the subsequent vaginal births successful for you or you just opted for elective csect for subsequent babies? If manage to deliver vaginally, do you sustain another 3rd/4th degree tear with subsequent vaginal births? ( medical journals stated that the risk to get another 3rd/4th degree tear after previous 3rd degree tear is higher for subsequent births). In dilemma if i should go for elective csect or try for another vaginal birth for my second. So please share with me your experience!!! Thank you in advance!!! #pregnancy #bantusharing #advicepls #perinealtear

I am currently in my 3rd trimester. My partner and I havent had sex in about 2.5 months. And when we did it last night, the penetration was so painful, it was like my vagina was stinging. After we were done, I went to shower and the water touching my vagina hurts so bad, so I took a small mirror to check. There was a small skin tear near my perineum. Does this mean I am likely to tear more during natural birth? I am so scared, if it hurts so much during sex, wouldnt it hurt so much more when baby's head comes out 😭#firsttimemom #anyadvice #pregnancysex #perinealtear
