olive oil to prevent tearing?

Question

My doctor recommended using some sort of natural oil like olive oil or coconut oil to prevent tearing during delivery. Has anyone heard of this or done it before??

Answer

👀 I wanna know too?

Answer

My midwife recommended Evening Primrose Oil. It's proven to soften the cervix and help not tear during labor. I've been taking it for a week and a half, I have an appointment Tuesday to see if I have effaced any.

Answer

It's for a perineum massage. Best if started around week 35.
