Have any other mums here given birth naturally after having a 4th degree tear in their prior birth? Little man will be 3 just when new baby is due
Thanks!

I had a 3rd degree tear plus episiotomy with my first (10lbs) and only grazing with second and third. Best of luck
Hmmmm.
No tear but an episiotomy with my first (used forceps).
Had four more natural births afterwards. No issues.
Sorry I can't be specific to your question.
Best of luck.
yep with my first and no problems with my second.. only a little graze which the midwive admitted she done while dealing with the placenta.. Good luck xx
Thanks for your reply! How did you do/handle/prepare or birth differently to avoid another 4th degree? Thanks
My mum did after having me she had to have hundreds of stitches both inside & out. She went on to have my sister naturally not even 2 yrs later
