Who has heard of PERINEAL MASSAGE!?!?

Okay ladies so now that your in your second trimester I wanted to take the time to share with you what’s called (PERINEAL MASSAGE). If you never heard of it please use the link I posted to get some information on it, but to break it down what it is, is a type of massage that you start at about 34-35 weeks of pregnancy. I was first told about this massage during my first pregnancy and have had 2 children vaginally, which in both cases I’ve never torn, had to be cut and never gotten one stitch.

Steps includes inserting 1-2 lubricated fingers about 2 inches into the vagina and apply pressure, first downward for 2 minutes, and then sideways for 2 minutes. The massage can be done by the woman or her partner, and sweet almond oil is sometimes used for lubrication.
