2nd birth - more damage or no difference?

[flowerpop]

If anyone had a large baby (9 pound plus) who then went on to have a second birth, did you find your nether regions became more damaged (pelvic floor trouble, vaginal laxity, prolapse etc) after the second one?

Weighing up whether to go for a c section or risk another vaginal birth.

Any insight would be very appreciated. This is particularly for those who had big ish babies.

Thank you so much.

I had no difference at all - no stitches with either miraculously! 1st baby 7lb 5oz, 2nd baby 9lb 5oz.

Someone told me to listen to my body and only push when they told me to and I kind of credit that advice. Simple but effective.
