I didn't do this before hand the first time around, but my midwife did it while I was in labor. I still tore in 2 places. Not sure if the perineal massage made a difference at all.
Wait you guys aren't helping prepare your vags with the fruit of the week? Fisting has nothing on trying to stuff a canary melon(?!) up there.
Kidding obviously.
No massages here. This is kid #4. I don't think it can get any more stretched out. Also I did tear horribly with my first. Up and down. No tears with 2 and 3.

@kdm06c I thought the fruit of the week comparisons were recommended stretching devices. I'm up to a pineapple now! Can't wait for my ticket change challenge tomorrow to see what I'll be picking up at the grocery store tomorrow to throw down the hallway!
Why didn't I think of fruit?! The weird but cute animals have been a bit traumatizing
The Ovia app gives you all sorts of fun stuff to try. This week is also a kids backpack. Talk about good timing. Today was my son's last day of Kindergarten. I mean, he's going to want a new backpack for next year anyways. Challenge accepted.

@Gingermom15 I fisted and still ended up with a second degree tear. Maybe I did it wrong? Was DH supposed to do it for me since his fists are a bit bigger?
The durian was a little scratchy, but I got it in there.
Another lurker from d15. Don't worry about the smell from the durian. It does go away eventually, considering you scrub the hallway every once in a while.

It would have been ideal. Next time he might have to use both hands since scar tissue is extra tough.

I think maybe next time you should try double fisting?
Ladies, I was on D15 and fisting was legitimately helpful to A LOT of the moms! @BecauseBabyIamAPug remembers!

I came here to say that FH and I are trying this, and it was uncomfortable but a really unique bonding experience, and he took it very seriously and read all about it, and so far we're 1 for 1 on it ending up with sex so ftw. HOWEVER... I'm so glad I stumbled on this gem of a derailed thread. I really, really like you ladies. We should have a 3rd tri double-fisting meet up somewhere.
