Beautiful baby girl Courtney Marie Smart born 22/07/08 weighing 6lbs 10. Gestation 40 ( 3) weeks

Labour Story - been taking raspberry leaf tea & tablets (worked 4 me) labour lastest 7 hours from start to finish when it came to pushing her out they gave me a episiotomy as her heart rate was dropping and they didn't want to mess about. She was born with the cord wrapped round her 3 times - around her neck, around her shoulder and under her arm then again wrapped around her stomach! The episiotomy & stitches hurt more than labour and delivery and the recovery was awful. Had a look at the scarring and it looks a mess. Will I need another with future pregnancies? & am I at an increased risk of tearing? Any advice & previous experience welcome.
