Are you less likely to tear with a waterbirth?

My first baby I birthed on land, dd#1, was my smallest baby (6lbs4oz) and I tore the most. My most recent, dd#2 was my largest baby(8lbs2oz) I birthed in water and nothing, not even tenderness. I joke that I have been more sore after an "enthusiatic" night of loving with dh than I did after dd#2 birth. I totally attribute it to a water birth....also it was our first UC, the other two were homebirths but not UCed.
