Started on Sunday (with 'help' from DH) and find it really uncomfortable, almost like it's chafing a little even with plenty of sweet almond oil! Am quite swollen and engorged down there which I'm sure is normal, haven't had sex in a few weeks (tried on Sunday but to no avail!) so was wondering if this perineal massage mularkey gets any easier as the weeks go by. My pregnant friend had a right good session of rollicking sex after her first try so I was a little deflated to say the least! I have many friends who tried it but the ones who stuck to it religiously for 5 mins every day had no tears/episiotomies at all (the massage that is, not the rollicking sex!!)
