I really agree with listening to mw too. I stopped when I was told to and only has a small graze and no stitches xx

I did perineal massage for five minutes a day from about week 36, using almond oil. I had a small tear, which needed one stitch, and a graze. I also listened to the MW when she told me to stop pushing. I think my tear was from LO shooting out so quickly in one go! I had no control over that part. She just wanted out, I think

I was a birthing partner for my friend in march and saw what can only be described as the worst thing my eyes have ever come across, such a bad tear like you wouldn't believe, ugh! It has really scared me. I didn't tear with Sol just a graze but he was small obviously being early, so if I go to term this time an have a mammoth baby I think I would choose to be cut after what I saw ��

What are grazes? I can't imagine a graze in the context of birth... The image coming to mind is not pretty! x

No these are essential oils so are absorbed into the skin, you only put it on the outer skin!!!!x
