How to do perineal massage
You would normally start perineal massage between weeks 34 to 36. You need to do it at least three times per week and for around three to five minutes at a time. Here’s how to do it:
- First of all, find a perineal massage oil, such as My Expert Midwife’s Peri Prep Your Bits
- Wash your hands
- Sit comfortably, bring your knees together and towards your chest and then open your knees like a book
- Using your thumbs, insert them into your vagina and then place your forefingers on the skin of your perineum. You now need to stretch this skin gently by moving your fingers from the middle of your vagina outwards, it shouldn't hurt so if you feel a burning sensation you've stretched too far
- Massage upwards as you gently stretch the skin and repeat for around three to five minutes and do this at least three times per week
- As your pregnancy progresses you may find it helpful and also beneficial to ask your partner to help with this massage.
