I’ve read about perineal massage and have made note to start on it once I reach 34 weeks. When’s your baby due? All the best for you too. God bless :)

Also, I’m not sure if your doctor is pro-natural or not, but I plan to have a water birth.. also less chance of tearing when you birth in the water, here are some great links to check out:
