hi YES I DID IT AND STILL DO IT \/ \/
i'm 29 weeks preg with number 4
the person who told me about this practise - from her personal experience was my GRANDMOTHER she did it too.
her advice was and still is use olive oil and reg massage onto the belly, buttox, breast and perineal areas, helps to reduce not only tearing but also stretch marks -----she never tore and has no stretch marks....
neither do I.!!!!!!!!!
another bit of advice from her is that it helps to keep the affection/romance between a couple .......
She is a wise woman!!!!!!!
