Hello Isis, long time no speak!  I've been off Ozmid during the semester while I've been swamped with uni.   I'm so sorry to hear about this... you sound understandably shaken to the core.   You are such a strong, intelligent woman (& it sounds like your pregnancy has gone so well up till now!), ha

Isis,   I had a 3rd degree tear with the birth of my first child.  I believe there were also a number of contributing factors to this - mostly crap in my head from other peoples' births (I am a midwife).  The tear healed well, but remained tender for about 12 months.   My second child was 458
