I have been doing a lot of research and I still havent found any numbers as to the risks of doing damage with a VB. DH and I have been discussing it quite a bit though, and considering that it will be an induced labour if it is a VB then there is more chance of intervention, which I think would increase the risk of damage. Depending on what the Ob says we are almost 100% certain that we will ask for a CS because the recovery for a reconstruction if I do need one is so long.

It really is a hard decision but I am more concerned that because I won't be able to use the bath that I will be wanting pain relief, which would increase my chance of moving too far, or having my legs pushed too far apart.
