They say that you tear more with your first than second since it's your first time having to stretch that big. But you should only have minor tears with your second.

Most people tear because they push too hard and too fast when baby is crowning. Once baby has begun to crown, all you need to do is breath and give easy little pushes. Don't listen to who ever is in the back ground yelling for you to push. Small little pushes give your vagina time to stretch little by little. Your provider can also help with oil, perineal massage and warm compresses.
