When it comes that time for labor I'm most definitely going to buy me some evening primrose oil I'm terrified of ripping…

I use 100% unrefined organic Coconut oil

Oh okay you use the 100% natural coconut oil or the kind you put in your hair coconut oil ? @kmharr3

massaging with coconut oil shouldn't send you into labor. my midwife suggested the massages with coconut oil and never mentioned anything about it sending me into labor, however ingesting or inserting primrose oil potentially could.

I have a small pelvis too I'm so tiny girl @kmharr3

True but don't the coconut and primrose oil cause labor? @kmharr3 When I looked it up it said it can cause you to go in labor

perineum massages starting at 35 weeks are what I think kept me from tearing so bad. I only had a slight tear and an 8lb baby and I have a small pelvis lol. I did it with coconut oil or had my husband do it. it's best if you start a few weeks before

it sucks, I got 2nd degree tearing and freaking got a hematoma. I had to buy a donut to sit in the first 2 weeks. but it was worth it.

lol just tryna scare you for no reason! it is Def more painful after then no stitches...that's not a lie but it's Def bearable! if you have a boppy pillow I would use that the first couple of days to sit down on lol it actually helps and makes it less painful to sit down :)

Right like I'm so scared, all these women was telling me stories about how when they got stitches they barely could walk it hurt to sit down and they bled a long time I was just like omg stop it @mdomke22

I tore with my first....this time around I was SURE I tore again...but NOPE! I asked the doctor are you sure?!?! cuz it Def felt like it lol. but then again this baby was smaller, especially her head, then my first daughter. but you never know girl you might get lucky again! and if you do it'll be OK the squirting water bottle will just be your best friend lol

That's why I'm going to wait to take it lol

True they said the primrose oil is suppose to prevent tearing @jacesterlingsmommy this girl I know she tried it and it worked its just one of them remedies that make you go in labor though.

I didn't rip. they had to cut me to get the baby out. it did suck but I would rather that then a csection any day

I didn't rip or nothing with my daughter but this baby is going to be alot bigger than what she was at birth and I'm already tiny I'm just scared but they said the primrose oil causes labor so I'm going to wait like 2 more weeks @beebaby

I was scared too but it wasn't bad at all. I read 75%+ women tear during birth. That honestly made me feel a little better only because it helped me prepare for the fact I was probably going to tear. I was afraid of them cutting me or being tore bad but I only needed 2 stitches. Didn't even know they were there.

It does suck!
