Just dip your thumb in oil and put it inside your vagina, pressing down towards your anus and rub back in forth in kind of a u motion

Found this online..maybe it'll help. I'm super afraid of tearing too!

Studies show that perineal massage reduces your chance of tearing during birth. Just rub sunflower, olive oil, vitamin E oil or coconut oil into the skin between your vagina and anus once or twice a day, starting from around 34 weeks onwards. Place your (or your partner's) thumbs shallowly into your vagina (no more than three to four centimetres) and press the perineal floor down towards the bowel and to both sides until you feel a slight burning or stretching sensation. Maintain the pressure for about a minute before resting.
