37 weeks and dilemma

I had frequent tears from constipation, sometimes I cry in the toilet cause my poop got stucked at my a** for a good half an hour and I can’t do anything. However, my entire delivery was painless from the pain reliefs offered. Post recovery wise was good too, no long pain except for the first night after delivery for a few hours. I was also able to pee/poop well within the same week. I was also walking normally (no more duck waddling) after the 3rd day. According to my husband (he helped me apply the creams) my tear was almost nearing my anus but it didn’t hurt since there is painkillers given. I initially wanted Csect with GA but comparing 1 tear (got chance of no tear) vs being cut up 5-6 layers, I eventually decided to go with natural.
