I had a 3rd degree tear with my first preg that took a long time to heal and left me in a lot of pain. Now I'm pg again and feeling anxious about the birth. I've read that some women have been offered c-sections after experiencing a tear wiht the first and wondered if this is offered as a matter of course to women who have had 3rd degree tears with the first. Does anyone know? I'll be seeing the midwife in a few weeks and I'll ask then but wondered what other people's experiences had been?
