I do have a question can you avoid tearing while giving birth vaginally I heard there a massage you…

Doing perineal massages for a few weeks leading up to labor can reduce your chances of tearing. You need to do it for a few weeks, not just one time before labor

@kmharr3 how many times should you do it

A day? I did it twice a day starting at like 34 weeks until i gave birth

But you really should do it atleast 3-4 times a week atleast

@kmharr3 did you tear any

With my first i didnt do it and i tore real bad. The second time i did the massages and i didnt tear at all

@kmharr3 oh so it does work

There have been alot of women who have done it with success.

@kmharr3 oh ok thanks for the advice

You're welcome

@kmharr3 I wanna,do it so I can be prepared

I didn't tear, but I didn't do any type prep either. I think it all depends on size of baby and how gentle the Dr is.
