Has anyone started perineal stretching yet (or done it with previous pregnancies)? I can't convince my husband to do it (some ridiculous man excuse...) but I'm not sure I'll be able to comfortably reach down there myself. Suggestions?
Oh! They sell a thing. Its like a balloon... Apparently its standard in Britain to do it with this thing... My mil mentioned it. (she became a us citizen at 38, originally from the UK)
Not terribly descriptive, but I remember googling it back in the first tri and being both horrified and frightened, lol.
@cal031686 - ugh every time I try to edit this it somehow deletes half of my comment! Anyway, I clicked on that thread totally expecting actual good information, when in reality it's pages of fisting and gifs of hotdogs on hallways and random messages about pooping and discussions on how many fruits fit up there! Lolol
Sorry not sorry. You posted your thread the same day we were discussing massages in our weekly ramdoms thread. Our conversation in the random thread led to the discovery of this wonderful gem! I had to share!
