Moms of 2+ - episiotomy question
If you had an episiotomy with your first delivery, did you end up needing another one with your next child? Just trying to mentally prepare myself, TIA!

I have heard that for the most part, it only happens the first time.
I'm praying for this to be true when we get around to #2. Elizabeth did enough damage!

Nope, labor with #2 was a piece of cake.

I did very little both times but less with the 2nd. My 2nd was bigger than my first though. First was born at 39weeks 2 days, weighing 7lbs 15 oz, 20 inches; 2nd was born at 37 weeks weighing 8lbs 9 oz, 21 inches.

i had a second degree episiotomy with my first, he was over 10 lbs...with my second she was only 6 lbs, and came out in two pushes..and ten years later,,i think this is why, but i still needed a stich..
i gotta tell ya, my dr this time around was SOOOO much better, and it was fine..

They cut me the first time (9lb, 5oz), but let me tear the 2nd time (8lb, 5oz). It was SOOOO much less painful the second time though.
