Prenatal Perineal Massage

Starting around 34–36 weeks of pregnancy, gentle perineal massage may help increase the flexibility of the perineal tissues, potentially reducing the risk of tearing during birth. Massage the area for 5–10 minutes, 3–4 times per week using clean hands and a water-based lubricant or natural oil.
