Perineum Massage
Has anyone tried doing perineum massages to try and help stretch to tissue and muscles so you won't tear or have to be cut. I got an email and had my husband try it last night it does hurt a little but I really don't want to be cut or tear. Tell me what you all think.
It hurt some but after two days my husband noticed a difference already. I don't want tear or be cut so I'm trying it. Then I don't want the epidural.
I had no idea you could do this, I read about it and its going to take some convincing myself to try this. Man I bet it would hurt, interesting subject though.
Ok thank you the stretching is intense but after the first day. I let my husband do it because I would have quit after the first couple of minutes.
I was doing it for awhile but the pain got too intense. They can also put a warm towel on the area before you push to help the area stretch.
It kind of hurt though last night when he did it. But he saw the difference after awhile of doing it. That stuff kind of hurt.
...lol, thats funny cuz I massage that area every other night before bed in the hopes of not getting cut or tearing either, its worth a try...keep at it....and ofcourse baby oil down there should keep everything fairly moist!!!
