Not necessarily: You should have this discussion with your provider.You need to find out if it is a fissure or a disruption in the anal sphincter. If you have a tear into the anal sphincter when you deliver, it might make the situation a little worse if you have a pre-existing problem. Labor does not necessarily make it worse, however. See your provider and have this discussion.
