hi I had a nice natural labour with my first child but she came out quickly and consequently had a second degree tear and am now due in 3 wks my second child and would love to have no tear or reduce it. My questions are

How do you do it?
With what oil?
Is it worth it with 3 wks to go?
Is it painful to do?
Did it stop you tearing or did you have less of a tear do you think

Am hoping to have a water birth if i am not too fidgety like last time

Any feedback grateful

olive oil/vegetable oil according to my midwife is good enough.

I would like to know more about this too - I can't work out how it is done
