tips for moms 6-9months prego
So my mom had 8 kids all natural except for 3 because she had an emergency c-section well I just wanted to pass down a few tips she gave me to help with not tearing an having a comfortable labor :)
From about 6months until you go into labor she recommends vaginal massages with vaseline or lube if you prefer ( if your not sure what I mean just ask and I'll explain) and every night before bed put vaseline on the area between your vagina an anus .
From about 7-9 months get an exercise ball and have your bf/hubby massage your tail bone area for about 30 mins a day then 10mins of hip swivers
This one you can.start whenever but for 5 mins before you sleep and before you get out of bed do birthing position to stretch your legs
Hope it helps :)

Yeah my sister listened and had both kids quick and without any pain meds and no tearing but my other sister didn't because it was 'weird' and had 10stiches I just want to help share my moms knowledge
I didn't know about the pulling thing, but I knew massaging the area between your vagina and anus helps prevent tearing.. It makes sense seeing as that's what tears (or even needs to be cut depending on the situation)..
By the way sorry for not answering sooner I had work an I lost my phone for a day . .it was in my room
Yeah what she said ^^ but there's a few ways to do it and the one my mom describe is to have your hubby or bf put there thumb in your vagina an have him massage the part between your vagina and anus then when that gets comfortable then to start to gently tug an stretch that area nit to where its painful but at least so you can stretch it and if you can handle it tug a little harder and and hold it as long as its bearable . Is that a good explanation?
The massage is called a perineal massage you can find info on google and other sites
