Any FTMs trying perineal massage to try to prevent tearing?

Question

How the hell are you reaching!? I want to, but I feel like a walrus!! Should I just ask the hubs?

Answer

My husband is doing it for me 😂

Answer

I thought some midwives sorta did this during delivery to prevent tearing anyway? Or at least applied pressure or something.
I would ask the hubby and research the techniques.
I would but... honestly fear it would lead to nothing but sex 😂

Answer

No I haven’t but really hoping I don’t again this time I had a second degree tear with my first.

Answer

Pregnancy has made me 200000x tighter (my doctor sticking 2 fingers in me to check my cervix feels like she’s ripping me open) and when I’ve tried to do this massage thing it kills me!!! But I guess it’s better than the baby’s head killing me lol

Answer

The idea is to use a natural oil like coconut oil or olive oil to massage your perineum in the weeks leading up to your due date so that it will be able stretch rather than tear during birth. 
Obviously there are some logistical issues however...
