Tearing

So I know if you massage your perineum while pregnant, it prevents tearing but I was also wondering if sex helped too? By sort of stretching out your vagina some.

Sex is definitely a good idea. If nothing else it keeps your vaginal tissue less rigid since it has to expand a bit for entry lol!

I heard doing the message with olive oil was supposed to work. But im sure having sex wouldn't hurt. Lol dont doctors usally say sex is good to have during pregnacy ? So im sure it can only make it easier.
