Perineum massage

Has anyone done a perineum massage during the final trimester of your pregnancy with sweet almond oil and wheatgerm oil? Did you find it prevents tears during birth? Or did it make any other difference, I've just bought the oils today to try it but wanted to see if others have seen benefits and results? X

I did it with oil and I still had a second degree tear

I never bothered and I didn’t tear either time

I’ve got some expert midwife oil and have just started using it this week now I’ve hit 34 weeks. Time will tell if it helps!
