hi
i have a fear of baby crowning and causing a bad tear with no 2 baby
I have never experienced a normal delivery as had forceps and induction (induction did not work) so don't know what the second stage feels like when baby is nearly out and the skin is stretching in the perineum as had epidural
is it very difficult to slow down when the baby's head starts to show down below and how much does the opening stretch to?
I have started perineal massage and can't see any difference in the size of down below so think how it will stretch enough to allow a baby's head through??
Are you supposed to be able to stretch the opening to a full 10 cm (ouch) in width by the end of the pregnancy?
thanks
