2nd Child after vaginal refashioning

[debbiewells21]

I had my first daughter in 2012 and didn't need stitching becuase I only had 1st degree tear. I developed an infection so it took a lot longer to heal than it should have done. afterwards sex was excruciatingly painful so I ended up having to go for refashioning. I've never been the same since but now I'm pregnant with our second I'm worried about whether I'll be able to give birth as easily as I did the first time around.

Dreading the damage this second one will do

anyone experienced anything similar?

I've just seen your post. I had severe second degree tearing with DC1, healed badly and was fixed under GA about 8 months later. Had DC2 a year or so later, tiny 1st degree tear, no stitches and fine afterwards. I had been really worried so tried to push the baby out slowly unlike the first time when she shot out! Mine was a positive experience, I hope the same for you too
