stage 3 tearing
I had a wonderful delivery. I am a (let me make that "was") a small person. I am 5'2" and delivered an almost 9 lbs very healthy baby. I was terrified about the whole event and I had an amzing experience. I was induced at 6 am and had Hailey by 2 pm. I had some bad tearing, which I didn't feel at all thanks to the epi. I was terrified of the epi and it DID NOT hurt at all. I really cannot complain. I hope this can reassure some others out there.

Re: stage 3 tearing
I had Stage 3 tearing with DS #1. I'm hoping he's paved the way for DS #2. You really do heal sooner than you think. Tucks were my saving grace. The repair work was actually the worst part of my delivery (I chose not to have an epi and will do the same this time.) Glad to hear that you are doing well.
