massage?

[mommyofaria]

At what week should I start to massage the area between my va jj and anus...sorry I don't know what its called lol.......I'm 29+2....and I usually do it three times a week...for 30seconds...should I do it longer?? More often? Am I doing it too soon? I'm a ftm .....I know it helps with tearing.

It's to help minimize or even prevent tearing during labor :)

Ive heard at least 5 weeks before delivery but to be on the safe side since you dont know if your bundle will make a bit of an early appearance or not i say keep it up! Good luck and fingers crossed that neither one of us tear! I may be induced next thursday and dont feel very prepared yet!
