Epi-no...have you tried it? Did it help?

Question

I read about this epi-no device that is supposed to reduce the possible need for episiotomy and increase speed of delivery. Anyone tried it? What was your experience?

Answer

I did massages with evening primrose oil and still tore. It's honestly not that bad, I would much rather tear than an episiotomy because it heals faster

Answer

US doesn't support Epi-No so we can't try it, but I heard it works.

Answer

So no one in our Nuture community has ever tried it?....darn. I'll be sure to let all of you know how it goes then as I've decided to use it.

Answer

I was looking into it but I'm not sure either. I've heard perineal massage is good but unfortunately if you're going to tear you can't stop it.
