My birth plan currently says something similar... I might add another sentence suggesting actively supporting the perineum during stretching.
I could end up in the water too which I know is supposed to help- but for some reason I just don't visualise myself birthing in the water so I'd like to be prepared for a dry birth.
I think I might like to try that leebee- but I'd hate that no one tried and I tore... think I need to write it down so I know it's mentioned as a possibility.
