Eeek - I'm not even pg yet (or even TTC), but I do worry about this occasionally. I had an epi, and then tore right into my bottom. I had thought that the scar would be a weak point, so good to know that it won't necessarily tear that way if I'm lucky enough to have another baby.

Oh Trillian - you poor thing!

Best of luck OP - may your perineum remain intact this time!
