I had a 2nd degree tear with dd nearly 2 years ago.I am having a homebirth this time(due 23rd july) and have bought a pool to labour/deliver in.One of my on-call mw's has said i may be better getting out of pool to deliver and poss having an episiotomy to avoid a large tear.
Does anyone have experience of this or any lovely mw's around to help me out?
many thanks
