    I was on my back with DS1 and had a first degree tear that was sutured, pushing for 2.5 hours...DS2 i was sort of sitting (on the loo!) 5 mins pushing and only a very minor tear that didnt require any stitches. So not sure on the longer pushing = less tearing, but this is what everyone told me.
    ETA: both were over 10lb
