I had a 3rd degree cut with first and a 2nd degree tear, daughter was 6lb 11. I was nervous about tearing down the scar tissue from the cut but even though my 2nd daughter was 8lb9 I only had a small 1st degree labial tear, no damage to my perineum at all!

I had 3rd degree with my first. Had to have a spinal to be stitched up and it healed a bit funny too but my 2nd birth was perfect. I just made sure to use gravity and have birth upright. I had a slight graze but that was it,,with this next one ive actually been given the option of a home birth so fingers crossed! X
