I hvnt been tore with my both pregnancies but with my second one i had rectum prolapes but its not too much but i had it does anyone have an experience with prolapse ? Bcs this is my third and im scared will it effect me more?:(
Due to scar tissue you are more likely to tear again. I tore very bad with my first and I'm terrified of it again but it's inevitable. You can use oils or vitamin e to help with elasticity and should help with tearing. Try not to stress about it it's temporary (even though it took me 3 months to feel OK after my first )
To help me I did perineal massages. It seems crazy but after doing it every night for about a week the skin becomes very stretchy. It helped me to never tear at all.
Vitamin E oil for the skin, not the little capsules. Massage on your perineum nightly.
With my first who was 6lbs 13oz I had a little tear and I think I only got 1 stitch... #2 7lbs 1oz none... And had epidural with both of them... #3 7lb 1oz none and natural... #4 7lbs 11oz none and natural... #5 7lbs 10oz none and best natural ever... I honestly think learning how to control your vaginal muscle helps a lot... With my first I did push more with my rectum and I think that is one thing that made the difference...
My first only weighed 5 lbs 9 oz I got a second degree tear and about 10? Stitches can't remember exactly. Second was 7 lbs 3 oz only had 3? Ish stitches with her. It's weird you would think the bigger baby would do more damage.
Thank you all! I will definitely try some of your suggestions.
I did the perineum thing the first time and they ended up cutting me to get her out. And stitching after. I didn't feel anything because they numb the area.
I tore so bad on my 1st child 20+ stitches in and out
I had a 4th degree episiotomy with my first and didn't tear at all with my second. birth position matters a lot on tearing. Flat on your back increases your chances. If you only had one stitch with your first I wouldn't worry. You likely will be ok. :)
I swear by stretching your perineum and that area. I try to do it every evening in the last few weeks. My first and third child I tore a little (2-3 stitches) and I didn't do it. my 2nd was my biggest 8lb 6oz and I didn't tear with him.
My first I was 6 lbs 6 oz and I tore, I had to get 2 stitches, my second was 8 lbs 5 oz and I only had to get 1 stitch. My third was in the middle at 7 lbs 11 oz and I didn't tear at all, so for me it seemed to get better, even with the 2 lb difference between my first and second

Squats help stretch your perineum and can help reduce tearing.
My first was 8lbs 2oz and I tore as well as Dr cut me.my 2nd was 7lbs 13oz and I tore in 2diff directions w him. Wanting to find out about primrose everyone is talk
About to c if that helps this time;)
I tore with my first 2 real bad..i couldnt sit for a while and had a c section with my third
My daughter was 8pounds 8ounces and I had a third degree tear. My son was 10 pounds and I didn't tear at all. But I did take primrose oil during the last week's of my pregnancy so that might have helped..
I've had two babies naturally and haven't tore yet...so it's hard to say...
