Perineal massage
Has anyone started doing perineal massages yet? I tried the other day and i feel like the diagrams that are online and in books etc are showing a much bigger vagina than average? 😂 they make it look easy to put 2 thumbs in and sweep outwards but in reality its not easy to do the U shaped motion and isn’t very comfortable so i kind of left it and feel a bit deflated and worried about birth now. Has anyone got any tips?

I started a few days ago and I've been using the Frida Mom Prepare to Push Wand to do it. It is possibly a bit expensive for what it is but much easier than using your thumbs!
I've bought the aniball as I wasn't sure about doing the massage and thought that might be easier!
I've never done it. Three babies and no tears x

Do you have a partner? If so, definitely get them to do it. My partner did mine last time with olive oil and I swear was the reason I didn't tear too badly with my huge-headed son. My partner will definitely be doing it again this time!
