I haven't done it with any of the three pregnancies...a mix of can't be bothered and can't reach, I think I have had a 7lb 13oz and a 9lb 5oz bub so far, and although I've had little internal tears and grazing, haven't torn the perenium as such. We tend to DTD right up to and beyond the due date, and fairly often and because my belly gets sooo big, it tends to be done....with me on all-fours....(trying to think of a polite way of putting it ) which puts a bit of pressure/stretch on that area anyway, so maybe that helps....your hubby might be awful pleased to hear that, too
Wish I'd known about this sooner as I got 2 stitches that were quite painful and probably wouldn't have if my tiny baby girl didn't decide to stick her elbow out on the way through
Going to keep this in mind for when we plan the next I think.
