I'm going to be induced on Friday at 37 weeks with my first baby and I am DEATHLY scared of tearing. At 35 weeks he was measuring at 4lbs8oz so I'm not sure if a small baby makes me less likely to tear? I have a few questions regarding tearing with first babies.
- How big was your baby
- How severe was your tear?
- How painful/uncomfortable was it afterwards and for how long?
- Did you require intervention during your birth?
- How long did it take for you to fully recover?
Thank you!
