Have posted a thread about this before but am armed with more info to make a decision now but need help!
In brief. Pregnant with DC 3...
DD1 quick labour 2nd degree tear
DS speed of lightning labour 3rd degree tear.. repaired in theatre, no problems at all.
So.. saw consultant yesterday & discussion was around elective c-section or natural labour. Risk of another 3rd degree tear is higher this time round. Hospital recommends if asymptotic c-section is not standard.. but they are offering me a choice & if I want a c-section that's fine.
So wwyd? My concern is that if I have another 3rd degree I might have problems after? Plus having had a 2nd degree once already then a 3rd.. is this not a lot?
My personal preference is vaginal birth.. but I'm scared I could have problems in future if I end up with another 3rd degree... and I imagine this birth will be even quicker 🙈
They will discuss again at 34 weeks.
