Thank you for sharing. I had heard of perineum massage but not this device. Glad it worked so well for you!

Thankyou for sharing… I am going to research this product. I am also going to try doing Perineum stretching to help avoid a tear or episiotomy.

Glad it worked for you – not all can be avoided.

  Agreed – people shouldn’t feel bad if they suffer an episiotomy. They can be unavoidable no matter what precautions are taken. Same goes for emergency caesarians.

    Exactly – sometimes these interventions are unavoidable and sometimes they are undertaken for the safe delivery of a baby. An episiotomy is painful but recovery can be helped with the advice of good midwives.

My obstetrician said he’d seen no real evidence that these work. But if you think it helped you, maybe it did.

  yeah they are not too mainstream yet either. i would just go for it and listen to the nurse when they say stop pushing to give it time . oh apparently people massage the area to prevent issues.

Really?? I’ve never heard of such a thing before. It looks amazing and it works!!
I had to have an episiotomy, but it wasn’t that bad. I would have preferred your way though!
