Massaging your perineum
Everyone wants to avoid tearing or having an episiotomy during birth. By massaging natural moisturising oils into your perineum (the area between your vagina and your anus), you can improve the elasticity of the skin so that it stretches more effectively during birth.

Oils that can be used include:

Almond
Wheat germ
Olive
Pure Vegetable Oil
Vitamin E

It would be advisable to start massaging your perineum around the 33rd week of pregnancy, for a couple of minutes a day. An effective way to do this is to insert your thumb into your vagina to massage from the inside, whilst massaging with your fingers on the outside.

just a couple of weeks to go until I can start massaging mine!

Great... won't the kids get a bit worried if I start rubbing cooking oil into my arse hole?!! They'll never eat my cooking again!

I was a bit crap on wednesday cos I cried for about half an hour before I finally managed to do it but yesterday was fine...took about 2 mins to get my head round it and do it! I haven't bruised yet either

Oh hun, it does get easier, I did mine this morning virtually at the same time as I was drying my hair. I just reconcile myself that I'd rather do this than have a dvt or something worse!!

I shaved all mine off two weeks ago in the hope that by the time the baby comes it will be all neat and trim. Didn't fancy getting my husbands beard trimmer out.. although if he carries on annoying me I might do it just to p*ss him off!

And.. it's growing very slowly, so I am not impressed. Bare naked front bottoms just aren't suitable for pregnancy are they!?
