Massage of the uterus in pregnant women erotic stories. Why and how to massage the perineum during pregnancy

If you are interested in childbirth being easy, quick and without disruption, you should properly prepare your body for the upcoming load. Perineal massage is one of the methods to increase the elasticity of tissues that will be directly involved in labor.

What is perineum

To increase the effectiveness of the massage, you should know what the perineum is. In medical terminology, the perineum refers to the soft muscle tissue that is located at the bottom of the pelvic bones. This area is located between the anus and vagina, and it is this area that needs special massage.

Childbirth puts a lot of stress on the perineum, the muscles of which are not very strong. Under pressure from the baby's head, they often rupture, since this becomes the only possible way for the baby to be born.

Sometimes surgical dissection of the perineum - episiotomy - allows you to avoid many complications during the birth process. But you can avoid surgical intervention if you prepare the perineal muscles in advance.

What are the benefits of massage?

Massage actions are aimed at increasing the elasticity of the perineal muscles, helping to avoid cracks and tears during childbirth. Until 28 weeks, such prevention is not mandatory, but if you wish, you can spend a little time doing a massage once a week. For those expectant mothers whose pregnancy period exceeds 28 weeks, you should regularly engage in such preparation of the perineal muscles once every 5 days, after 37 weeks - you can even do it every day.

Try to involve your husband in these activities, because a large belly does not allow you to perform massage movements well on your own. It is best to massage the perineum before childbirth in the evening after you take a shower or bath. The place for manipulation can be your bedroom, where you can completely relax.

The benefits of intimate massage for a pregnant woman cannot be overestimated, since, in addition to its main purpose - to make soft tissues elastic, it also improves metabolic processes in this area of ​​the female body.

There is an improvement in blood circulation and the condition of many internal organs. Moreover, during the procedure the nervous system calms down, and the emotional state comes into balance, which is very useful for expectant mothers.

Obstetricians and gynecologists claim that massage of the intimate area of ​​a pregnant woman helps to avoid complications during labor. That is why, in their opinion, perineal massage during pregnancy is one of the most important elements in the process of preparing the female body for childbirth.

Many women are convinced that if there were ruptures during the first birth, the scar will rip apart during subsequent labor. However, special massage movements can make the scar elastic, which prevents it from tearing during the birth of the second child.

Rules for the procedure

To carry out manipulations to prepare soft tissues for childbirth, you will need sterile oil.

You can use oils such as:

• chamomile;
• calendula;
• sprouted wheat;
• pink;
• olive;
• almond;
• peach;
• sunflower.

If you use sunflower oil, it should be boiled. It is strictly forbidden to use castor oil, as it tends to cause uterine contractions, which can trigger premature birth.

Before carrying out the procedure, you should wash your hands thoroughly, because the vagina of a pregnant woman is vulnerable to infections. If the skin and mucous membranes are too sensitive, it is necessary to use sterile gloves while performing massage movements. To avoid damaging the surface of intimate organs, the massage therapist’s nails should be carefully trimmed.

Oil for perineal massage should be used to lubricate the labia minora and majora, pouring it onto your hands without immersing your fingers in the container. If this rule is not followed, such actions will lead to contamination of the oil and infection of the genitals.

The ideal position is standing with one foot on the edge of the bed or bathtub. Women also choose a sitting, lying or reclining position, but only if the massage is performed by the husband.

Vaginal massage is not necessary during pregnancy, since this organ is by its nature quite extensible, and it is extremely rarely damaged during childbirth. It is the perineal muscles that require increased elasticity shortly before childbirth, so there is no need for deep penetration; it is enough to plunge your fingers into the vagina a few centimeters.

Execution technique

Having taken a comfortable position and generously lubricating the labia with oil, perform the following actions:

• Shallowly - 2-3 cm, insert your thumb or index finger into the vagina;
• Apply rocking pressure on its back wall until you feel a slight tingling and tension. Hold for one minute and release. Repeat several times, such pressing should be done for 10–15 minutes;
• Then perform these movements in a clockwise direction and vice versa;
• The massage ends with re-lubrication of the labia. We cannot exclude the possibility of injury to the labia minora of a woman in labor during labor, so they should also be given attention during the procedure. They need to be pulled forward slightly without causing any discomfort to the woman.

By doing a perineal massage during pregnancy, every day you can stretch the muscles more and more until the woman experiences discomfort. Such activities will prepare the expectant mother for childbirth: she will learn to relax and perceive pressure on the perineal area without resisting it.

Contraindications

Despite the obvious benefits of perineal massage for a pregnant woman, such manipulations also have their contraindications.

During pregnancy, a woman’s body is subjected to serious stress, and the risk of complications increases. Perineal massage before childbirth will help to avoid ruptures and episiotomy. The manipulation will improve the condition of internal organs and speed up blood flow.

The perineum consists of soft tissues that cover the exit from the pelvic cavity. During childbirth, the baby's head lowers towards the entrance and, moving forward, stretches the muscles. To push the fetus, the woman strains, so the perineum is injured. Careless movements lead to ruptures. The purpose of vaginal massage before childbirth is to reduce the risk of such manifestations.

The likelihood of ruptures is influenced by factors:

• heredity;
• type of woman;
• body mass;
• fetal position;
• fabric elasticity.

During the first birth, the tissues are stubborn, so they need to be prepared. If you constantly perform intimate massage, you can make the muscles elastic and minimize the risk of damage. At this time, pain decreases, blood vessels and nerves are released.

Regular implementation of the procedure allows you to improve the elasticity of the tissue and prepare for the exit of the newborn’s head. Massage will provide protection during childbirth, and the woman will easily relax, which will speed up the passage of the fetus through the birth canal.

How to properly massage the perineum before childbirth:

• regularly;
• with an empty intestine and bladder;
• using oil;
• wearing sterile gloves.

You can ask your husband to do the procedure, since in the last stages the stomach is in the way. Some prepare the perineum on their own and seek help from a specialist. A professional massage therapist knows all the intricacies of the technique.

Harm

Despite the proven benefits of vaginal massage before childbirth, manipulation is prohibited for some categories of women. The procedure is contraindicated for expectant mothers with vaginitis, herpes, and genital infections. Follow the rules of hygiene in order to avoid bacteria entering the vagina and further spread.

When infected, a pregnant woman develops allergic reactions, her body temperature rises, and there are skin rashes. Actions are carried out only after complete elimination of all ailments and the inflammatory process. The disease must be treated to prevent infection of the cervix and amniotic fluid. This will negatively affect the child's health.

If during pregnancy there was a risk of miscarriage, massage against ruptures during childbirth is prohibited. Any stimulation during the birth of a child causes premature placental abruption, internal ruptures during early delivery, and injuries to the baby.

Do not massage the perineum in preparation for childbirth with low placentation, multiple births, or before the 12th week of pregnancy. The first three months are vulnerable. Starting procedures earlier leads to the fact that a woman will not want to prepare, but this needs to be done daily to achieve maximum effect.

Rules

The main purpose of performing a perineal massage to prepare for childbirth is to subsequently achieve tissue elasticity. You can do the procedure at any time. The main thing is systematicity.

Rules for performing perineal massage.

1. regularity;
2. warm bath or shower;
3. clean hands;
4. short nails;
5. sterile oil;
6. medical gloves.

The number of sessions differs depending on the stage of pregnancy. In the early stages, if there are no contraindications, prenatal massage should be performed no more than once a week. The frequency increases only after the seventh month. During this period, manipulation takes place once every five days. At 8 months of pregnancy once every three days. At 36-37 weeks the procedure is carried out every other day, and from 38 - every day.

If you constantly massage before childbirth, this will prevent ruptures and surgical intervention. The doctor's recommendations will help make the baby's exit easier. Performing the procedure with her husband brings her closer, the woman relaxes better.

Technique

At first, prenatal massage takes place in front of a mirror to better see how the actions are performed. Movements are carried out using the thumb or middle finger. You need to reach the crotch from behind. A woman independently selects a position while standing, sitting or lying down, placing her foot on a stool.

You need to take oil to massage the perineum and pour it on your fingers. You should not dip them in a container to reduce the risk of infection. The substance is treated with the upper part of the vagina and skin. The procedure is easy if you follow simple steps.

Technique:

• insert the thumbs of both hands into the perineum 2–3 cm deep;
• apply light pressure down and to the sides;
• perform stretching movements for one minute to feel a slight tension.

The duration of the exercises increases from 2 to 5 minutes. If a woman feels discomfort or pain, it is necessary to reduce the pressure or stop the manipulation. Massage with oils to prevent tears should be gentle and pleasant. As soon as the procedure is over, apply a heating pad with warm water. This will increase the effect and help relax muscles and soft tissues.

Facilities

Massage the uterus before childbirth using oil, which is purchased at the pharmacy. A large assortment and low price make the product accessible to everyone. If an allergic reaction occurs, it is recommended to stop the procedure. An allergy test is required before use. The product is applied to the elbow, if there is no negative reaction, the composition can be used.

It is prohibited to use a castor product for oil massage before childbirth, as it stimulates the activity of the uterus. The pharmacy offers special intimate oils. It is allowed to use a composition that will make fabrics elastic. It contains rose, sage, almonds, and tocopherol. The oil will relax, prevent ruptures and surgery.

What oil to massage the perineum before childbirth:

• pink;
• almond;
• marigold flowers;
• chamomile;
• from sprouted wheat;
• calendula;
• apricot;
• rose petals;
• olive;
• from grape seeds;
• boiled vegetable.

You can prepare the composition at home. To do this you will need regular vegetable oil and St. John's wort. The herb is placed in a liter jar, poured with oil so that it covers the plant. Place in a water bath and heat for 20 minutes. Then the jar is closed with a lid and left in a dark place for a week.

Such a creepy and ugly sounding word “breaks”... It's a shame that it is so closely and persistently associated in our society with the process of childbirth. It is somehow very strange that in a majestic creative event - the birth of a new life - we often first of all see the danger of destruction.

How could it be otherwise, if convincing stories are passed from mouth to mouth about the number and location of tears, about the “joys” of stitching and processing, about the inability to walk and sit normally, about sex, which has turned from pleasure into a test... You never know what else you can hear. Even the enthusiastic “I gave birth without any gaps at all!” sounds like a miraculous deliverance, an exception that only confirms the rule... Eh!..

It is normal to give birth without ruptures. A woman’s body is created and ideally adapted for the birth of children by Nature itself. By endowing these tissues with such important, very important (without exaggeration!) powers - to release a young person into the world - wise Nature, without a doubt, created them perfectly adapted for this. A convincing confirmation of this is the entire (!) viviparous animal world, which safely gives birth without ruptures. It is a shame that man, the Crown of creation, managed to become an exception... But we have the power to return to the natural rule, to give birth without breaks, to give birth beautifully.

It’s amazing how this delicate bud, such a small and cozy house of love ecstasy, suddenly blossoms, opens its graceful petals, opening the way for the Miracle of birth, releasing into the world a ripe fragrant berry - the fruit of love - a baby. And, having released it, it smoothly closes, expecting new pleasure and the gift of life. Beautiful and majestic.

Modern civilized life has not benefited natural mechanisms, this is so, alas. But this does not mean that they are broken. This means that their work has become a little more difficult. It is advisable to do something to help our tissues, and they, feeling our care, will definitely try and will not let you down! So what can you do:

Gymnastics. It's great if we can overcome laziness and sofa attraction :-) and find time for stretching exercises. They will be effective if you give them 10-15, or even 5 minutes a day, but it is important to do them daily, i.e. regularly. What kind of exercises are these:
- standing sideways to the back of the chair, rest your hands on it and move your leg to the side as high as is comfortable - 6-10 times for each leg.
- with the same emphasis, lift the leg bent at the knee towards the tummy.
- with your legs spread wide, slowly squat down and hold in this position for a few seconds, you can use some springs. Slowly rise and relax. Can be repeated 3-5 times.
- squat down, straighten one leg and put it to the side. Shift your weight from one leg to the other several times in a row. Extending your arms forward will help you maintain your balance.
- “butterfly” - sit or lie on the floor, connect your heels and pull them towards the perineum. Legs bent at the knees look like butterfly wings. Let's wave them like a butterfly, often, often.

If you have already tried these exercises, you have felt that the muscles of the inner thighs and perineum are working in them. You can vary the exercises at your own discretion, carefully listening to your feelings. The main criterion in choosing exercises and their duration is a feeling of comfort and pleasure.

Everyday poses. We are talking about positions in which you can do everyday activities and just relax, but which, at the same time, quietly prepare our body for childbirth. Take them more often, alternating with each other:
- “tailor’s pose” - in a sitting position, cross your legs in front of you
- “butterfly” - sitting, connect the heels and pull them towards the perineum. You don’t have to move your legs, just staying in this position, but most likely the “wings” will start dancing on their own. This is great and won’t stop us from watching TV, reading or peeling potatoes.
- “on your heels” - kneel down, bringing them tightly together, and smoothly sit back on your heels
- “frog” - being in the “on your heels” position, spread your legs and sit on the floor between your heels.
Choose positions that are comfortable for you and change the position as soon as it begins to tire you.

Squat! I would like to make a special point about this remarkable point. It is remarkable because while squatting, and especially while moving, all the muscles that will be involved in childbirth work. Use it!
- you can just squat down, minding your own business
- you can (should!) wash the floor while squatting! Such a daily activity will replace any gymnastics, not to mention the fact that mom and her Tummy will breathe clean, dust-free air.
- you can walk “in single file” - from the kitchen to the room :-). Why not?

Kegel exercises. These are exercises directly for the muscles of the perineum and vagina. It is much easier for trained tissues accustomed to stress to stretch well during childbirth and quickly return to their original size after it.
Kegels will also help us avoid “miraculous” hemorrhoids as much as possible during pregnancy and get rid of them very quickly after childbirth. Here are several levels of difficulty for these exercises:
- alternately squeeze and relax the muscles of the perineum. This exercise does not require special concentration, so it can be performed in almost any situation - no one sees :-)
- it will be a little more difficult if, holding the muscles, hold them in this position for 5-20 seconds, then gradually relax
- “elevator” - we begin a smooth ascent on the “elevator” - squeeze the muscles a little (1st floor), hold for 3-5 seconds, continue the ascent - squeeze a little harder (2nd floor), hold, etc. to your limit – 4-7 “floors”. We go down in the same stages, pausing for a couple of seconds on each floor.

Make Kegel exercises a daily practice, doing them little by little as soon as you remember.
Perineal massage. It needs to be done every day (you can do it 2 times a day), starting from 32-36 weeks until birth. For this we will need either homeopathic ointment “Arnica” (anti-traumatic effect), or cocoa butter, or any vegetable oil, as natural as possible and sterilized in a water bath. The massage is performed with clean hands, optimally after a bath or shower, at night.

External massage: Using soft massaging movements, the selected product is rubbed into the skin around the vaginal opening, paying special attention to the piece of skin located between the vagina and the anus.
Internal massage: one or two fingers are inserted into the middle of the vagina, and, lubricating, stretch the tissue, as if making a “pocket”.

The massage can last 5-10 minutes, or maybe longer if dad gets involved in the preparation ;-). Massage should not cause discomfort.

Food helpers. After 7 months of pregnancy, salt should slowly but surely leave the mother’s diet. The less salt in the body, the more elastic its tissues.

This does not mean that you need to switch to a salt-free diet - hardly anyone can stand it, but you can easily reduce the amount of salt. Products containing a lot of calcium (in particular, hard cheese and cottage cheese) are followed by salt - excess calcium leads to the baby’s head becoming too hard and with small fontanelles. This does not allow it to contract sufficiently as it passes through the birth canal. The likelihood of ruptures and other injuries increases. Listen to your body: most likely, giving up these and some other products will happen on its own. If you can’t refuse, don’t force yourself, trust your feelings.

Honey will also help increase tissue elasticity. If you drink a spoonful of honey on an empty stomach with 0.5-1 glass of warm water, it will additionally contribute to better bowel function, and if you drink milk, green or chamomile tea with honey at night, you will sleep better.

In addition to these simple measures to prepare the perineum, it is important to learn how to breathe, relax and push correctly during childbirth. These (and many other) wisdom can be learned in courses for pregnant women. You also need to listen to your midwife, who will tell you when to stop pushing. It makes sense to warn the doctor and midwife that you have been preparing the perineum.

Preparation of the perineum (perineal massage) (based on materials from the magazine 9 months)

Perineal massage will prepare you to properly relax in response to the pressure of the fetus passing through the birth canal. Relaxing the pelvic muscles is a very useful exercise in preparation for childbirth. In addition, massage increases the elasticity of the vagina and perineum, enhancing hormonal changes that reduce the stiffness of connective tissues. Massage significantly reduces the likelihood of episiotomy or serious tears.
If you are interested in avoiding surgery, you should massage your perineum five to seven times a week for the last six weeks before giving birth. Check with your doctor. Some doctors are not familiar with this type of massage because it is not very common. Many women and couples consider this massage disgusting and do not do it. However, others believe that it is worth the trouble because it reduces the risk of tearing or cutting the perineum. There are women who even find it pleasant, especially if done after or during relaxation exercises. If you have vaginitis, herpes, or any other infections, you should be treated first, since perineal massage can lead to an exacerbation of the disease.

How to do perineal massage
The massage can be performed by you or your partner. At first, use a mirror to look at your perineum, this will make it easier for you to understand what to do. Your hands should be clean and your nails should be trimmed short. If you or your partner have sensitive skin, you may want to wear rubber gloves.
Sit comfortably, half-sitting (if your partner will do the massage) or stand with one foot on the edge of the bathtub or a chair (if you are doing the massage yourself).

Lubricate your fingers well with oil, pouring it from a bottle or water-based cream, squeezing it out of a tube. This method of applying cream or oil is better than repeatedly dipping your fingers into the same liquid, which leads to contamination. Sometimes it is recommended to use wheatgerm oil, which is rich in vitamin E, which can be purchased at health food stores, but other vegetable oils or other water-based lubricants can also be used. Baby oil, mineral oil, industrial oil and hand lotion are not suitable for this purpose, as they are believed to be much less absorbed by the skin than vegetable oils or water-based solutions.
Apply enough oil or cream to the skin of the perineum so that your fingers glide easily.

You can massage using your thumb. And your partner can do it with his index fingers (first - one hand, then both, when you get used to it). Place your fingers into the vagina (up to the second joint) and press on the pelvic floor muscles so that you can feel the muscle tension with your fingers. Then relax the muscles and move your finger into the vagina, then speeding up and then slowing down the movement, carefully moving to the perineum down towards the anus. You should massage for about three minutes. This massage increases the elasticity of the vaginal tissue, the muscles that support the vagina, and the skin of the perineum. Then massage the moistened skin of the perineum for about one minute using your thumb and forefinger (thumb in - index out or vice versa). At first, the vaginal muscles will be a little tense, but over time you will master the massage technique and the muscles will relax.

When you feel pressure or stretching, focus on relaxing your muscles. Since you feel comfortable during the massage, a slight increase in pressure that stretches the perineum is enough to feel a tingling and burning sensation. (The same sensations accompany the eruption of the baby’s head during childbirth.)

If you have any questions, consult your doctor or women who know this type of massage.

Perineal massage (Based on materials from the magazine 9 months)

You've most likely already heard about perineal massage. It is done to prevent perineal ruptures during childbirth. The tissues of the perineum experience maximum stress during the eruption of the head. When the baby's head reaches a large perimeter (the size of the baby's head), the mother's perineum is most at risk of rupture. For multiparous women who had an episiotomy during their first birth, this massage is most relevant - the old suture may crack because the tissue has lost its elasticity.

You can start doing massage at any time. If the pregnancy is not yet long, a frequency of massage once every 7-10 days is sufficient. Closer to childbirth - more often. From 28 weeks once every 5-7 days. From 32 weeks once every 3-5 days. From 36 weeks every other day, and from 38 weeks it is advisable to massage every day. If your pregnancy is already coming to an end, start doing massage every third day for a week, then every second day for a week, and then every day until delivery.

It is best to do a massage in the evening, after a warm shower or bath. You can do it yourself, but it’s better to involve your husband. If only for the simple reason that a big belly gets in the way.

For massage you will need natural oil. Which? Rose, chamomile, calendula, castor, olive, almond, wheat. Plain sunflower oil is not recommended. I myself used calendula oil with vitamin E from Weleda.

How to do the massage yourself? Be sure to wash your hands with a brush. Generously lubricate the outside of the perineum and lips with oil. Then insert a well-lubricated finger or two into the vagina shallowly. By 2-3 centimeters - no more. And begin to make pressing, rocking movements on the back wall of the vagina (closest to the intestines) until you feel a feeling of tension and tingling. Hold for a minute - release. Repeat after a few seconds. And so on for 5-7 minutes. Of course, it is much better if the husband does the massage. This is also good because at this moment it is better for you to completely relax in response to the feeling of tension. Try to detach yourself and not pay attention. Such relaxation training will bring relaxation to automaticity, and will be very useful and helpful before childbirth as a reaction to contractions.

Then, from the outside, lubricate the perineal area with oil from the center to the hips again. It is also important - lubricate the small lips with oil and lightly pull and massage them. This is a common situation when the labia minora burst during childbirth, and it is better to try to give them elasticity in advance than to experience various kinds of difficulties later.

Preparing your body for the birth of a child without injuries and ruptures, isn’t this what every expectant mother dreams of? It turns out there is a procedure that can protect you from unpleasant and painful tears in the intimate area during childbirth. This is an intimate massage of the perineum before childbirth, which pregnant women and the gynecologists who observe them are no longer embarrassed to talk about, and the industry has developed a special intimate oil for pregnant women, which is intended specifically for performing perineal massage during pregnancy.

But first things first.

Nature has created a woman's body ideally suited for giving birth to a child. We are designed for this, to safely bear children and give life to new generations. And if this is so, then? Why is the birth of a baby associated with pain and blood?

The fact is that nature and instincts are layered with reason, we are smart, and this is our problem. A woman knows that childbirth can be very painful, and this prevents her from relaxing and enjoying this, in general, natural process. And if you can’t relax, then there is a risk of ruptures. The uterus is designed this way, it will contract as long as it is capable of it, or the child will be born, or the uterus will rupture, no matter how much you resist and squeeze. Fortunately, the muscles and the perineal area in general are weaker than the powerful muscles of the uterus, and the birth ends the way it should end, even if the woman in labor does her best to prevent the baby from being born. True, if the muscles of the perineum do not relax, it will end in ruptures to one degree or another.

Perineal massage during pregnancy not only makes the skin and muscles in the intimate area elastic, they naturally stretch perfectly, but also teaches the expectant mother to relax correctly and not interfere with pressure.

Perineal massage for pregnant women has the same contraindications as: it cannot be done if you have,. In addition, it should not be done if there is an exacerbation of thrush or another inflammatory process in the vagina, and you should not start before 12-16 weeks of pregnancy, yet at this time the pregnancy is vulnerable, and there is a high chance that by the end of pregnancy you will get so tired of this activity, that you will abandon it at the most necessary moment, when it is advisable to do a massage daily.

How to massage the perineum

Perineal massage during pregnancy can be started at any stage, and it does not matter whether you have your first or second birth. With repeated births, it is often even more important if the first ones were complicated by ruptures. Ruptures leave a scar in the perineal area, which is usually difficult to stretch, and bad memories for the expectant mother. It is known that during repeated births, if the first birth was with ruptures or perineotomy, a second rupture often occurs - in the same place. But it can be avoided; massage of the perineum for childbirth helps to make the scar more elastic, and the pregnant woman goes through this wait for the obligatory second rupture.

You should start doing perineal massage during pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, it is enough to do it only once a week, as the period increases to 32 weeks, repeat it 2 times a week; in the last weeks it is useful if it is done daily. If you are already pregnant and giving birth is very soon, and you have not done massage before, start with twice a week, then do it every other day, and then do it daily until the birth.

Perineal massage for ruptures is a deeply intimate, family thing, and it would be best to involve your husband in this matter. Doing it on your own is not only difficult, but also not very effective and will not give you the desired sensations. It would be better if someone helps you.

You should definitely use oil to massage the perineum, it will make the procedure much more enjoyable. Now in pharmacies you can buy weleda perineal massage oil with rose and sage extracts, designed specifically for pregnant women, but you can get by with olive oil and even just vegetable oil.

Before the procedure, you must wash your hands thoroughly - the female vagina during pregnancy is vulnerable to infections, and our task is to help and not harm. It is best to do a massage in the evening, after taking a shower or a relaxing warm bath. Before going to bed, in the calm, familiar environment of your bedroom, it will be easy for you to experience this procedure and get great pleasure from it.

Oil should be lubricated with labia majora, labia minora, and the entrance to the vagina. In this case, the oil is poured onto your hand, rather than dipping your fingers into it - this way it will remain clean in the container.

Vaginal massage is not necessary during pregnancy - we work only with the perineum, the vagina itself is extremely rarely injured, it is a very easily stretchable organ. This means that deep penetration does not make sense; it is enough to insert 2 fingers into the vagina just a couple of centimeters and feel the muscle ring with them.

The husband should press with his fingers on the back wall of the vagina, the pressure is increased slowly, rocking, feeling how the muscles of the perineum relax and give in, towards the rectum. At this moment, the woman should try to relax as much as possible; when the massage is performed correctly, a tingling sensation and a feeling of tension in the perineum appears.

The pressure should be continued for 2-3 minutes, then released, the exercise is repeated for 10-15 minutes. Every day you will be able to stretch the perineum more and more until discomfort appears, and by the time of birth you will be able to completely relax and not perceive this pressure at all, not resist it.

When your baby moves towards the exit during labor and his head presses on the muscles of the perineum, you will not experience any new and frightening sensations, you will be able to relax and help the baby to be born easily.

The perineal massage ends with re-lubricating the labia with oil, massaging the labia minora by stretching; they can also be easily injured during childbirth and it is necessary to pay a little attention to them when massaging the perineum of a pregnant woman.

Have a safe birth without any ruptures.

Every woman wants to properly prepare for childbirth, so that there are no tears or incisions. It turns out that there is a very simple procedure that can quickly and efficiently solve this problem. This is a special perineal massage, which today all gynecologists talk about. A special oil has also appeared on sale, which is intended specifically for this type of massage.

A woman’s body was originally created specifically so that she could bear and give birth to a child. If this is true, then why is childbirth so often associated with pain and tearing? Of course, the woman knows in advance that it will be painful and during childbirth, because of this, she cannot completely relax. If the body is tense, then the risk of ruptures increases several times. The uterus is already designed in such a way that it will contract until the baby is born. Accordingly, if you squeeze, you may even experience uterine rupture. Of course, the muscles of the perineum are less strong than the uterus and therefore, no matter how much a woman prevents the birth of a child, sooner or later he will still be born. At the same time, if you don’t relax, then there will definitely be breaks and it’s up to you how serious they will be.

By massaging the perineum you can make the skin more elastic and the muscles stronger. It is worth considering that by nature the skin in this area stretches very well, especially if you do not resist it. An intimate massage will bring many benefits to every pregnant woman, and will also prepare you for a variety of sensations in this area and help you learn how to relax your intimate muscles as much as possible.

It is worth emphasizing that there are some contraindications that are identical to sexual relations. If you have a risk of miscarriage or premature birth, thrush and its exacerbation period, inflammatory processes that occur in the vagina, fetal presentation, and so on, then you should not massage the perineum. In addition, you should not start doing such procedures before the 16th week of pregnancy.

How to massage the perineum before childbirth

Perineal massage is performed from the second trimester. At earlier stages, you can do a massage once a week, but the closer to the significant date, the more often it needs to be done. At about 32 weeks it is worth increasing the number of sessions to two times; in the last few weeks it will be ideal if you massage every day. If you have already had a long enough period and have not done perineal massage before, then start with two times, then every other day and in the last week or two - every day.

Instructions on how to massage the perineum before childbirth

It is worth understanding that it will be quite difficult for you to do a massage on your own, and therefore you can ask your husband for help. In addition, if you try to do it yourself, you will not be able to fully relax and get the desired effect from the procedure, because in order to reach the perineum with a huge belly, you need to make an effort. Another important point is the use of special oil, which is sold in almost every pharmacy today.
