Hiya,
Have started perineal massage in the last day or two and have been using KY jelly but was wondering if a natural oil (almond or something?) would be better for me in general? Or is it much of a muchness?
Also started using EPO capsules internally and have found unless I put some KY jelly on them they hurt like nothing else......get stuck etc. Not nice! Anyway, just wanting some reassurance that using the KY with the capsules is ok (I'm thinking yes but if there is a better way.....speak up!).
One more thing....probably the last thing I'll want to do when labour starts (?), but does perineal massage during early labour help things along?
And how easy is it to check your own dilation? I don't want to be running to the hosp. and find I'm only 1cm or something....
Hmmm, that's all
