Perineal massage HURTS LIKE A MFER!!!

Just saw a post on here about doing one and I was curious so I researched it and though it wasn’t a bad idea. WRONG 🙃 pregnancy made me even tighter and it feels like my vaginas gonna rip open just by doing this!!! How am I supposed to give birth in less than 5 weeks!!! Does anyone know how to make it hurt less?
