I started doing p. massage but felt a bit silly so I gave up.
I have fair skin. Only got stretch marks on my bb's, none on my belly. And I had a 2nd degree tear (Similar to Karina, my obst said did I want an episiotomy or just let things happen, which I said I would rather tear naturally. Which I did. I am tiny but! Afterwards he said my tear was much the same as an epi).
