Apparently sex doggy style has the same affect. That's what I did when I was pregnant with DS and I never tore

[Lolpigs]

I was the same tried it once and didn't do it again. Hubby couldnt stand hurting me

Helle I'll remember that one for next time

lol@Jellyfish!

How else do you have sex at this stage of pg? Lordy knows it's a lot of work as it is! But no perineal massage here either, I'm not getting DH to do that (he wouldn't anyway)!

[jellybean88]

Dh was really keen but he had such big rough hands

I did no prepping down stairs at all and only had a graze despite pushing for an hour prior to a vacuum delivery as DD was posterior and completely stuck. Yup, just one little graze

I think some of it is in our genes, how stretchy our skin is, and the rest I believe is positioning (during birth) and the speed of the labour. I'm a bit skeptical that massaging the area helps.

Just my opinion though and thought I'd share

[Cranky Kitten]

It might have something to do with whether you're tense during birth or if you're consciously trying to relax as well - I didn't tear at all with DD, her second stage was fast but not rushed, whereas I tore badly with DS because we had to get him out fast due to his heartrate dropping - which made me tense up a lot.

[Jellyfish]

I should mention I did no preparation in the lead up to DD's birth and had no sex her entire pregnancy but didn't tear at all. I did go slow during the pushing and pause during the ring of fire.
