Soften skin down their 🙄

Hey everyone,

Saw my consultant the other day to discuss my birth plan. One part of our convo that took me by surprise that she said “i need to moisturise down there to soften the skin to prevent tears” she said “it would help prevent tearing down their due to me being a horse rider.”

Has anyone every heard of this before or been told this before?

I have brought some oil called “down below” to do the job, has anyone used it before?

A lot of stuff has change in the last 9 years since my last pregnancy with birth plans, having to harvest colostrum and now moisture down their if a horse rider to prevent tearing.

No harsh comments or anything please.
