preventing

[hayleyvaughan]

Is there anyway to prevent ripping or tearing down there when you give birth ? Thats my worst fear and id like to be able to prevent it as much as possible

I dont think so. I tore pretty bad with my first but not my second and he was bigger..

*Perineal massages
*Kegal exercises
*A LOT of sex
*A LOT of Walking
*Streching
*Pushing while exhaling (while giving birth)

(You should start around 23 weeks with the exercises)

Don't get induced

One of my doctor suggests an olive oil perineal massage. Its the closest oil to human body oil and it helps. With my first she actually did it in between contractions because it seemed like I was going to tear. I still tore a little but it honestly wasnt that bad. You have to do a sits bath (sp) for a couple of day but I hardly knew it was there.

Perineal massages will help you prevent from tearing you can look up how to do them

[Makayla213]

My doctor told me that it MIGHT help prevent tearing if you push one contraction skip one push one skip one. But at the time I just wanted her out so I kept pushing. If I end up getting the epidural this time I will probably do that.

You can do perineal exercises (not sure on the spelling) Google it! :)
