Just after some advice . Myself and dh would really like a third child however I’m scared of having lasting damage from birth number 3.
First birth 3rd degree tear , healed well things are obviously not the same but not huge amounts of after effects.
Second birth episiotomy, healed well. However had Post partum haemorrhage immediately after birth and took a while to get over .
Not been diagnosed but feel I may have some sort of prolapse as everything just feels different and lower , cervix lower etc . However not sure if this may just be normal after 2 children.
I regularly run and excercise and have no pelvic floor or incontinence issues . I’m scared a third birth may damage me so that I can’t excercise as I am now - I know this may sound selfish but it’s something I really enjoy .
Not sure what to do if the risk is worth it or not. Has anyone been in similar situation and gone on to have a third ?
Would a planned c section be a good idea due to prev third degree tear?
