One gynae told me that my tearing in my first birth increases my chance of tearing again and increases my risk of incontinence and prolapsed bowel. I've since been told that my risk of tearing has only increased by 1-2%. And I've healed well, no incontinence or issues. One of my belly buddies had tearing caused by forceps and will have a c-section next time because of the issues she's suffered since, which are pretty horrific.
