Question about tearing

Ok this is my first time asking a question and I hope this is not tmi but I was wondering is it possible for me to tear again if I tore once before. if so is there a way to at least try to prevent it. With my first son I walked like everyday but he still tore me I tore all the way to my bottom and he was only 6 lbs n 9 ounces, he was born in 2010.

I've tore with all three of my babies. A little worse each time. :-( I've always done kegals since high school but I've never tried the message.

The handed of tearing aren't as bad with second baby's I'm pregnant with baby number 2 and tore pretty bad with my first and couldn't have stitches because I had an infection it all healed naturally I have same worries as you but I'm sure it's not as common to tear the second time xxx

Yes it is still possible. You should massage your perinium or have your partner do it and talk to your doc or midwife about your concerns. They should be able to help you push gentler this time so you don't tear as bad.
