christinarose (816.6 days ago) YES, it`s possible. I asked my doc about that very thing towards the end of my 2nd pregnancy. I was so worried about the recovery. I had an episiotomy with my 1st daughter. Healing from that was HELL! I wasn`t able to walk, sit/stand normally for a month! But with my 2nd daughter I had a 2nd degree tear. That was fine. I was walking normally and it didn`t really bother me much at all!
smiling politely (816.9 days ago) yes! i had an awful birth with my daughter, 27 stitches, 29+ hours of awfulness... then i had my son, med free and in 4 hours, with no tearing! i prepared by taking evening primrose oil, squatting on an exercise ball, walking and drinking red raspberry leaf tea. not sure which of these was the thing that worked, or a combo of all, or purely coincidence.. but read up on birth, educate yourself, so you really understand your body and what is happening.
