I tore also and the midwife said 2nd degree. I feel like it healed fine though and wasn't a huge deal. E had his hand up on his head, which is what she said probably made the tear because he wasn't all that big.

I had 2nd degree tearing, DD was 7lbs and change, but I pushed for 5 hours.
I think it's a crapshoot. If you don't push for long your body can't adjust and it tears. If you push too long it swells and you tear.
My midwife kept doing this thing where she put her finger in my vag and pulled while stretching the skin and moving her finger around in a circle, pulling the whole time. Holy bananas that hurt so so so bad and I yelled at her to stop. I would rather tear than go through that again.

I had my 23 week visit and have to have my glucose test done before my next visit in 3 weeks. He mentioned if I continue to have pelvic pain and stretching/heat don’t help they’d refer me to pt. I really hope that doesn’t happen.
And DS was 9 lbs 10 oz with a 14 1/2 inch head which is off the charts. I didn’t tear so I’m convinced that I’m going to pay for it this time and tear badly.

No word on my glucose test. Hopefully no news is good news but I'm eating all the Halloween candy now just in case I can't later. My doc said they only call if you failed!

G is almost 2 1/2. She eats her pizza without me cutting it and sometimes doesn’t want to sit in her booster seat at the table. When did she get so big. 😭 My DD also does these things. She just moved into her big girl bed and she'll be two next month. Who gave her permission to grow up?

Cue the tears just thinking about it.

Oh and Newp I also tore. 2nd degree in two directions. 20min of stitching maybe? But she came out pretty fast. I only pushed for 20 minutes.

I didn’t tear at all, but I pushed for 2 hours so I think I just had time to stretch. DS was also small.
