37 weeks and dilemma

Hi mummies I am FTM I am not sure if i want to go for natural delivery or c sect, my constipation today i think made small tear near my anus it’s sting when kena water. If a hard poop can make the skin tear easily then isnt the childbirth will make me tear even more to the point reach 3rd or 4th degree? 🙁 I know i have to decide asap but c sect ppl say recovery is slower😵‍💫

At this point yes you will feel constipation often, highly advice to take lactulose to soften bowels. You will experience tearing if you lift your butt during pregnancy and causing tearing till anus. Therefore require stitches. Also on the other hand tearing happened when baby's big or somehow rather it happened (I mean it cant be avoided). However, if you prefer to have C Section, you may consult your gynae/doctor. I do know of some mummies afraid of birth through vaginal and therefore took the C Section. No harm in choosing this birth method. Recovery yes may take long, but it all depends on body, yourself and physically how strong you are. This same goes with vaginal esp after you have stitches. I mean both have stitches, just wear you get it. Abdominal and Vagina 😅 So you can perhaps think, discuss and choose what suits you best and your situation. This taking in consideration baby weight, position and advice from gynae. All the best.

Some mummies butts aint down went pushing baby, they tend to lift butt by accident (you know when you get tense, panic) therefore when they push, baby out, tearing till anus.
