I hope it goes stunningly well. I was in a similar position with my latest child. For my first, I had very bad tearing (3rd degree, "one more mm and it woulda been 4th"). No one told me I needed to have a C-section for the second one. I did end up needing one as it turned out, but it went very well. Recovery has been *much* easier, that's for sure.

Best of luck to you.
