hoo-haa stretches?

[zareenawifey]

Who's done them? Who's going to do them? What are your thoughts?

I'm a ftm and I'm worried about tearing during labour. I'm due in 24days.

My midwife told me about the stretches you can do, I mean literally stretching/massaging that area, in preparation for labour.

Any success stories?
Or do they not really work?

Iv heard about these too. I was asking some of the women how to avoid or try to prevent tearing and mostly all suggested those. Im only 18 weeks so I haven't tried them ywt but thats wmost most of the women were suggeting

I feel like nothing can prepare you physically for your first childbirthing experience. It seems everyone has to get stitches!

I've Actually heard that the labor classes  techniques go right out the window when the REAL thing kicks in. Lol and hopefully the baby won't tear you , that's a fear for me also.
