I delivered my first baby 3 weeks ago. Although it was a non-operative delivery, I suffered sulcus tears and a second degree tear--my baby has a large head. The tears appear to be healing, though I am concerned about scar tissue.

I have 3 questions:

1. At this points there anything I can do to reduce scar tissue?

2. Am I likely to tear again if I choose to have a second baby? Am I a candidate for an episiotomy?

3. While I've been able to find lots of information on second degree tears on this site, I have found very little on sulcus tears. I'm gathering these aren't all that common. Does anyone know how likely I am to heal properly from this injury?

Thank you, Anne
