Massaging ... erm .... bits ... !

[X5OT]

Was just wondering if anyone has started peroneal massage yet? My yoga teacher mentioned it at class today and I was just wondering when I should start? I know it doesn't guarantee I won't tear, but I also know that lathering myself in Palmers coco butter daily won't prevent stretch marks - if its gonna happen, it'll happen - I guess I just want to do anything possible to prevent it happening!

Thanks in advance

I thought you were to start it from 32/34 weeks...it's the hardest thing to do yourself so you'll need a willing not embarrassed DH to help!!

God my OH wouldn't be embarrassed, he'd jump at the chance

It felt like I was peeing out boiling water for the first couple of weeks after LO so maybe I should give this a try...
