Im in my 34th week and read somewhere that this massage helps for normal delivery. But honestly i have no idea how to actually do it. Anyone who tried, how did u start and from which week?
I felt so awkward trying it at first, but I slowly got used to it in my 9th month. I really believe it helped me have a smoother delivery with very minimal tearing.
I didn't even know this was a thing until recently! Is this highly recommended by doctors in India, or is it optional? It sounds a bit intimidating but very useful.
Do it 2-3 times a week for about 5 minutes after a warm bath. It stretches the muscles and really helps avoid major tearing during normal delivery, just be consistent.
Look, don't overcomplicate it. Just sit comfortably, use a good oil, and gently stretch the area in a U-shape. If it hurts, stop immediately, no need to force it.
Please be very gentle and ask your doctor before starting this, especially if you have had any previous complications. Your comfort and safety are the most important things right now.
My saas was so shocked when I told her about this massage because they never did such things! But my doctor said it really helps, so I did it secretly in my room.
Haha it feels like quite a workout trying to reach down there with a giant pregnant belly! Just do your best and don't worry if you can't get the angles perfectly right.
Take it very slow and don't stress if it feels strange at first, okay? Just do it gently for a few minutes and stop if you feel any burning or discomfort.
You can start it around the 34th or 35th week using a clean organic oil like coconut oil. Just use gentle downward pressure with your thumbs, but make sure your hands are completely sanitized first.
Haan, yeh delivery ko thoda smooth banane ke liye karte hain na. Par apne aap zyada pressure mat lagana, thoda gentle hi rehna aur clean coconut oil hi use karna.
I'm in my second trimester and even reading about this massage makes me a bit nervous. Is anyone else also scared of how it will feel, or is it actually easy to do?
No need to buy those super expensive imported perineal massage oils from online stores. Normal extra virgin coconut oil is very cheap and works perfectly fine, plus you save money for delivery expenses.
