The first time round I tried to do the massage but found it difficult to do. Turned out that during labour my perineum wouldn't stretch or tear and because DD was in distress had to get her out quick smart so had an episiotomy but this time around, the midwife is recommending I do massage and will get instructions on how to do properly.

A device of some sort sounds good but haven't heard of anything like it so would be interested to know what's out there.
