I'm currently 36 weeks and have just started using Epi-No to train my muscles down there.

I would love to hear your experience in what you did during pregnancy to avoid perineum tear, or if you did tear it was only superficial and no muscles torn which enabled you to heal naturally. Especially your experience w/ your first baby when obviously that's the first time baby's head passing through the birth passage.

I wasn't particularly worried about tearing because I believe pushing naturally & instinctively will help the muscles to stretch gradually, however now the day is approaching I'm starting to wonder if that's just enough. So here I am practicing with my newly-bought Epi-No

Thanks
