Anyone give birth with a chronic anal fissure?

Hello mamas
It’s my second pregnancy and my fissures came back. I got them three months postpartum with my first, battled them for two years breastfeeding, as soon as I stopped breastfeeding they went away, had no trouble with them for a year. Three months into my second pregnancy they came back and now I’m managing them. I’m really nervous about delivering with active fissures. Anyone have a vaginal delivery with active anal fissures? Did all the pushing make them worse? I think vaginal delivery sounds better than a C section because I’d have to take pain medicine for recovery and that might put me in an even worse spot with harder stool.

I had a fissure from my first when I gave birth to my second. It didn't affect the birth of course it was sore after for a while but I was prescribed scheriproct and take vitamin C 1000 daily and it's cleared up.

No, sorry, but I also got one after first birth. Bloody awful so I feel for you.

Was it more sore after cause of pushing with childbirth or no?
