Tearing?

Question

How did you prevent tearing? I’m 33 weeks and interested in starting to do something so I don’t tear down there.

Answer

I started taking Evening Primrose Oil about 4 weeks before delivery (I was induced for medical reasons at 37w). I took one pill orally each day and massaged the oil from one pill on my vulva and perineum each night. When I was 1 to 2 weeks from my due date (I can’t remember), I began to also insert one pill vaginally. I did not have any tearing. Definitely could be a coincidence, but I would do it again for my next pregnancy.

Answer

Use a birthingpool

Answer

Go WITH your body. Dont listen to anyone. Trust you know what your doing. It is scary. It does hurt. Focus on gtn thru and breathing thru each contraction. A water birth def helps. It softens everything up. Start putting evening primrose oil capsules up your vagina b4 bed and wear a pad. Being on all fours is one of the best positions as it opens you up 33% rather than laying on your back. Make sure you have made some padsicles for after birth. They are a must.

Answer

Push when they tell you and stop when they tell you! I did that with both my babies and didn’t tear at all with either one. I didn’t do evening primrose or anything like that either. They were both completely natural births!

Answer

There was nothing I could have done to prevent mine. The ultrasound showed he had a big head,  and I barely pushed at all and he was here. The Dr was still putting her gown on when his head was coming out,  the nurse was down there lol. He came fast and had a big head. No getting around that.

Answer

Massage daily for few minutes the perineum with oil, like vitamin E oil.
