Oil
Hi ladies, I am 19 weeks today and religiously using bio oil to combat and help with stretching skin. A mum told me today to use oil inside the exit, to help prepare mum for birth… I’ve never heard of anyone doing this? It makes sense to make your vagina more supple for birth but I’m still amazed and also what about the delicate PH balance? Are any Mummas doing this? Xx

I’m not in this group, but it came up on my feed - I’m due April! You can get special oil for perineal massage to prepare for birth and it recommends that you start around 34 weeks. I would get the oil that is designed for this, rather than using Bio oil personally! The one I’ve bought is from Lansinoh I think
Yeah just to clarify, the bio oil is going on outta body only xx
Some studies have shown that vaginal massage can help with skin stretching. However, avoid using Bio-Oil, especially in that area. You can try using virgin coconut oil instead, but make sure to check for any allergies first.
Perineal massage. I tried it with my first but it made me feel sick 😂

I think it’s a really good idea - I’ve heard of it before - maybe not bio oil though - maybe something natural would be better
