This isn't something to laugh about. These "ladies" are actually inserting a fist into the birth canal for sexual pleasure. I wouldn't even want a penis inside me! It could poke the baby!
I've been thinking about trying because I really don't want to tear but am afraid it will hurt! Are there any numbing creams that are pregnancy approved?
You should definitely check with your OB. There is a lidocaine 2% gel but you should see if your OB thinks it's safe first. Also, I'm not sure if it's approved or not for internal use. I'm pretty sure it's just for external.
Holy hell now I've heard it all. No judgement to anyone doing this because I am not educated on it but hooooly mooooley. No one will be putting their.fist in my cooter
@bostonbaby1 and @magburt we tend to be like minded on a lot of topics, but we are going to have to agree to disagree on this issue. I wish you would respect our pregnancy choices.
ETA: @bostonbaby1 my main issue with you is your insistence that grape seed oil is superior to coconut oil. Everyone knows that is a false statement.

If you disagree with me then just keep scrolling!!!! I read about it on WebMD. I know better.

This isn't for sexual pleasure!!! We are genuinely trying to preventing tearing and have a better birth experience! And sweetie, science proves that DH's penis can't poke the baby, so I seriously doubt his fist could either!!
@magburt I read about it on another pregnancy site. I think it was baby center? You should look these thing up before you chime in and discourage other bumpies who this technique might help.
The sexual side of it is just bonus! The long term effects are what I'm after. Vaginal birth terrifies me. Anything to make it easier and I'm going to try it!
So my doctor suggested beginning fisting as soon as I hit the second trimester. He said that if done properly the baby pretty much falls out when the time is right so it'll be a lot easier on my body. Hubby was skeptical at first but after trying the olive oil as lube with it he's really opened up to the whole process. I really didn't know this was common knowledge. I'm so glad I'm not the only one! Do y'all have any special techniques or anything? My husband pretty much just goes for it. We are hoping one day his foot will fit so we can try "footing" as it loosens things up even more. I'm so glad so many of us are getting a head start on this!
It's REALLY important to make sure you stay relaxed throughout the whole thing!! My BF has very large hands and when we tried I tensed up, and it actually got STUCK for like 20min! We had to butter up his wrist to get that thing out!! Done with stretching for a little while, phew!
You are a bunch of BULLIES!!!! I tried to get involved in a topic I feel passionate about. Now I think I'll leave the Bump for good. I can't believe how horrible women can be. Good luck and God bless!

I'm with @magburt on this one. Everyone knows the baby can get punched and if you don't know that then you should. And if you're going to do it at home for goodness sake, use grapeseed oil! Sure, there are other natural oils out there, but nobody else can tell me what is best for my body. I'm very in tune with my body so I know what's best!

You guys are always using gifs to cover your insecurities!!!! I hate gifs!
I've heard of this but am terrified to try. Not only would I be worried about DH hurting me/baby but I just can't imagine sex after. Second time moms, was your tearing less after fisting?
With my first I needed an episiotomy. After fisting my second slipped out like throwing a hot dog down a hallway. Thank you fisting!

You all need to freakin relax. If you don't like or agree with what we are talking about then you can just keep scrolling. You don't need to bring your negativity to this supposedly "supportive" environment. I'm seriously upset with how rude y'all are being. No need for it. No need.
@duckinoven how dare you not like everything I post. You bully.
Um, posting pee sticks is against tou, bloody sheets are even more offensive. I know we all had to get between the sheets to be KU/TTC but do we really need to share photos of said sheets?
Oh my gosh. I think OP was serious? But I can't tell if anyone else was? Lol is anyone on this thread serious? Hmm...well my mil said childbirth didn't hurt for her. Wonder if this could be why. I won't be trying it though!

If your MIL was fisted then you should check your SO for bruising or other permanent damage.

Omg leave her alone! I'm sure her husband is fine!! You should try to find a way to bring fisting up to your mil. If it was really that easy for her I bet she has some tips!

I wasn't talking to you and I'd appreciate you more if you did NOT butt in!

Yeah. So EXCUSE YOU! This baby was immaculately conceived in a Denny's bathroom under the guidance of my holistic doula and Vinnie the line cook. No sheets were used and he will be delivered under the full moon on a bed of clover and sedge grass.
I definitely agree with @magburt. I told my husband that there is no sex in any way until well after baby is OUT! I even chose my doula because she said she would tell him that. I mean, who knows what could happen?! I just cannot allow my SO's penis to hurt our unborn child. But a fist?! No way. I love my baby way too much to harm her in such a horrible way!

Finally, a voice of reason! If these ladies won't listen to me, I beg for them to listen to you.
Ok I'll admit it. I am mocking you all. Come on ladies really? You are going to stick an entire first or two up your vag????? I would also be very concerned about your choice in oils? You may end up with an ant infestation in your bed, God forbid in your vag!!!

Omg I shouldn't have used sheets? They're organic sheets woven by blind nuns in Belgium.
I had been getting bored but now that we're talking voyerism ...
