Labour after episiotomy
Hi, was just wondering if those who had an episiotomy were able to give birth again without being cut?
I am absolutely dreading having another episiotomy as I was in so much pain after the last one. My doctor has said that we will definitely try to avoid one although as I still have scar tissue from the previous time, the skin is less stretchy so it may be a possibility. Of course I know there are other reasons it may be neccessary I just wondered if you are more likely to need an episiotomy if you've already had one? x

good luck
Hope everything goes well for you. PMA helps I think (and steering clear of the epidural made a big difference for me)
