Hubby has been doing perineal massage on me the last 2 nights, and it makes me feel crampy. Anyone else experience this? I REALLY don't want to tear this time and MW recommended this, but it is not so comfy...
My hubby had been donig it for the last 6 or more weeks and yeah it hurts... Sometimes a lot. I really do not enjoy it at all. Hopefully it helps though.
My doctor with my last baby said it's best done during labor, and after that birth experience, I agree. I did perineal massage with three babies before that, and I still tore. During that last birth, the doctor massaged and slowly helped me stretch with olive oil during pushing, and it was the 1st time I didn't tear.
