    I also want to add - I did perineal massage with my first & the tear was 2nd degree. The others I did nothing - and very little trauma with 1 and no tears with the other two...

    I do use water immersion in labour & DD5 was born into the water...

    MBear thanks to you I burnt my boobies by choking on tea!
    ...mmm sorry about that.....

    I actually remember reminiscing about ( when trying NOT to push when all i did was WANT to push) the movie i saw 3 days before....Wolverine. I tried so hard to think of something that was not birth related,baby related, anything to do with me related...and whammo, i thought of Wolverine. It musta worked, coz i didnt tear.

    I agree with Flowerchild...you will be great Bekz....it might be a little quicker being your third, so control, breathing and Wolverine.......
