I had a small tear the first time with a couple of stitches, it didn't bother me too much, I felt very lucky after hearing other people's experiences. However, I haven't done perineal massage as regularly as I did last time and now I'm 39 weeks I'm panicking massively.
Also, does it tend to tear in the same place or do you get more scar tissue elsewhere?
Thanks.

Is how much you tear first time any indicator for second time?
