perennium surgery 9mo PP

[Zenia]

DD is 2.5 and my son 9 months with both I had pretty bad tears. I went into an OB/GYN today at our local birth center to get an opinion and he said surgery. now he did say I can wait till I am done having kids to have it done. but I am 24 now and do not want to have any more babies for another 5-6 years. I am wounding if anyone here has had reconstructive surgery and then had a regal vaginal birth?

I am just affriad I will need to c-section if I get this "fixed"

I too had a severe laceration (4th degree tear) with ds. I had to have surgery 6 weeks postpartum because the repair broke down, I developed rectal-vaginal/ano-vaginal fistulas, and a perineal abcess. You may find this thread helpful.

I actually just bumped it, it is on the next page. What are your current symptoms? Why is reconstructive surgery needed?

I don't have any advice but I want to give you a

I had a pretty bad tear w/my son (lots of stitches and pp pain) but I didn't need any reconstructive surgery. I hope whatever you decide turns out well.
