Does anyone know of any research regarding risk
of subsequent 3rd/4th degree perineal tears during
vaginal birth. I know of a woman who has experienced this with her first
birth, then had a caesar to avoid a similar episode next time. She is
having her 3rd child and is revisiting the idea of a vaginal birth as the pain
of the caesar, whilst not lasting for as long, was much more intense than the
pain of the tear.
She had a "long" second stage and birthed on all
fours for the first birth apparently.
