I have severe tearing after DD#1 I have had 3 vaginal births since with no worries.
I tore really badly due to:
#1. being put onto my back (I was young and didn't argue); and
#2. I didn't stop bearing down when bub was almost out and she came out with a lot of force.
With my other babies I tore with all of them, however it was minimal. I birthed without drugs and in an upright position. I plan to do even more this time around to prevent tearing altogether.
