Just trying to prepare myself!

Did any of you get lucky enough not to tear and if you did tear what severity was it?

I've been trying to do research on tears in water/out of water to decide what I'd like to try for when having my baby.

I do have tokophobia and I'm trying really hard to work through it BlushDaffodil

Two water births and two 3rd degree tears for me 😔
My babies come fast though, first was only 20 mins pushing and second was maybe 5 (first sign of labour was at 9:30am and he was born at 3:50pm, we only made it to hospital with 2 mins to spare, I got in the pool and out he came)
I didn't feel the tears at all. I think you birth where you feel most relaxed and comfortable. That's all you can do.
