Perineal Massage

[YoungLadyDay14]

I'm just curious if anyone has tried perineal massage with success. I never heard of it til this pregnancy. Im concerned about tearing bcuz with this pregnancy I have a cervical cerclage and can't have sex til it's taking out. I got it put in at 20weeks won't get it out til 37weeks. Any stories or education would be appreciated. I'm 31weeks & I knw everything I read said start doing it at 34 weeks. Thanks!

Libbyz you're talking about a PRENATAL massage lol verrrry different and yes very relaxing. I have onescheduled for this week if this baby doesn't get a move on!

That's why I asked..haha. Thank you ladies so much for the responses!!

Lol I don't think I'm talking about the same thing everyone else is. I'm not talking about rubbing my down stairs area. I'm talking about basically a normal message.

Omg I could imagine going somewhere and having them rub my stuff lol

My midwife massaged me when I was pushing my daughter out. She was 8 pounds 6oz and my perineum was completely in tact. Also, her head was so big it was in the 99th percentile for newborns and she was my first baby. I would ask your OB if they do that during pushing?

I'm a massage therapist, specializing in prenatal massage and I can tell you perineal massage works wonders! I recommend all my mommies do perineal massage either by yourself or you can make it apart of your sexy time. I had a client who was a size 1 give birth to a healthy almost 9 pound baby, vaginally, without any tearing! It's never too late to start but the sooner, the better!

You can sit on the toilet and rub and pull backwards using Evening Primrose Oil as the lubricant. "You Must use a Lubricant". It may help enough to get the job done. Stretch and pull backwards, its not impossible

@libbyz, so u went somewhere to get a perineal massage? I didn't knw other than a midwife that would be offered at places. @mariaababy I was going to have my hubby do it, I think he would enjoy that especially since no sex right now. ;)

I has one at like 30 weeks in was amazing and so relaxing. I wanted to get another one before I had this baby but I just never scheduled it.

I will give it a try. I'll have my boyfriend try it lol. I really dont wanna tear

[YoungLadyDay14]

I don't think it would hurt to try, from what I read.
