tore with my first 8lb and not my second 10lb with my second i took olive oil but ended up using mineral oil the hospital provided since it had a lot more than the amount i brought , i think that combined with up and down breathing technique helped baby move down and out gently and progressively
You gotta immediately look into relaxing your pelvic floor. It's a skill u need to give birth less painfully. Stretch your perineum, sit on a tennis ball. Not dead center but around the sides. Heck if ur struggling, they sell wands on Amazon for massaging those areas. Probably find more informative videos on YouTube
I tore a little with my first but none with my second. Around 35 weeks I started drinking two cups of raspberry leaf tea with both which is supposed to help
Following!! I had second degree tore too. 😦
