Vaginal birth after LIS?

hi Ladies! Just want some advice really. In 2017 I gave birth to my son who despite being only 6lbs caused me a lot of issues haha. I had an episiotomy which still left me with a 3rd degree tear, forceps delivery, then nearly after a year of still chronic pain I had x2 rounds of botox in my bum for a 4cm laceration tear, then went on to has a lateral internal sphincterotomy. So far after the LIS, all has been great with only very little pain every now and then. I’m now pregnant with baby#2 and will Be due a year and month since the operation. 

Have any of you ladies had the same op, gone on to have another child via vaginally and had no issues? I’m sat here bawling my eyes out just thinking about the pain and how I darent go through it all again and seriously considering c-section. Im just scared the laceration will retear again and go through it all again.. and If you’ve experienced this, you’ll know the horrific pain that comes with it.

many thanks xx
