I still have a few weeks to go (I'm 24 weeks), but I am already thinking about labour and birth. I had a second degree tear with DD, and had stitches which got a little infected and I was on AB's for a week to make it better. So all-in-all, not very nice!
Understandably, I don't want the same to happen again, but is there a greater chance of ripping with the second labour?
I am also worried, because this time I am having a boy, and am worried he will be bigger boned and heavier than DD (she only weighed 6lb8oz).
Can anyone reassure me? Should I start perenium massage, and how would I go about doing it properly?
