PERINEAL MASSAGE OIL 1 x 30ml Down Below PERINEUM OIL is recommended for use from 34 weeks on. Our Perineal Massage Oil has been blended with oils chosen to have properties that allow the skin of the perineum to 'give' more easily. The pure Omega rich oil, with added Vitamin E, helps to increase the natural suppleness allowing for greater stretch of the perineum during the birth. Perineal massage has been shown to aid the faster recovery from perineal trauma. Used regularly during pregnancy, as part of your safe pregnant care regime solution, it therefore allows skin stretch during birth and reduces likelihood of tears, whilst studies also show it can aid with soreness, reduce swelling, bruising and help recovery. How to Massage during Pregnancy with Motherlylove�s Products for Mums to Be from 34 weeks of Pregnancy Caution: If you have a vaginal infection, contact your Midwife or Doctor and stop perineal massage until the infection has been cleared. You can then recommence massaging the perineum. Preparing to Massage: To give a massage have short nails. No jewellery or watches. Before you massage: Wash hands. Press the palms of your hands together firmly 3-6 times. Now shake your hand to release the tension. Ask if she has any allergies, particularly nut. If you choose a blended aromatherapy oil, check to see if it is suitable for pregnancy. Always choose an oil which uses a good carrier (vegetable) oil as they contain vitamins, minerals and are omega rich to nourish and hydrate the skin. The vegetable oils in Motherlylove blends are suitable for pregnancy, especially dry, sensitive itchy skins. Perineum Massage - How to Massage the Perineum: Using Motherlylove Down Below Perineum Massage Oil. The advantages of perineal massage. By getting to know your body you can have more confidence to deliver your baby. Massage increases the blood flow to the perineum allowing more stretch and less pain during the birth of your baby. Helps you to focus on letting your perineum open up. Practise your pelvic floor exercises and breathing exercises, as this will also help at the birth. Tears to the perineum are less likely. Your perineum is less likely to be painful three months after the birth . 1. When to Start: The best results have been shown when you massage your perineum 3 times a week for 10 minutes, starting from 34�35 weeks of pregnancy up to the birth. 2. Position: The best time to massage your perineum is after a bath or shower when you are relaxed and the perineum is softer, as the blood vessels are dilated. Make yourself comfy on the bed, with lots of pillows supporting your back with knees bent out. Alternatively you can rest in the bath or sit on the toilet. 3. How to Massage the Perineum: Use a small amount of Motherlylove Perineal Massage Oil (no added essential oils) to lubricate the area. Place your thumbs in the vagina, with the first two fingers of each hand outside on your bottom, then press downwards towards the anus with your thumbs. Move your thumbs up each side of your vagina, in a small U shape stretching movement. The stretch should be held, with your thumbs at the widest point of the vagina, for 30-40 seconds. To get the maximum benefit, massage for up to 10 minutes using this technique. The Motherlylove Perineal Massage Oil is formulated to im- prove the natural elasticity of the skin. This feeling of stretching will be similar to the one when your baby�s head is appearing. If at first it is sore � stop and try another day. 4. Tips when Massaging the Perineum As you advance in pregnancy, your partner could be shown how to massage your perineum. Instead of using their thumbs they should use their index fingers. Good communication is important. Having a balanced diet helps healthy skin to stretch. At the birth of your baby the midwife will be able to advise you on different positions you can adopt in labour, which will en- able you to have a controlled delivery. Listen to your midwife for advice when to push and when to stop pushing in the second stage of labour. If you are going to have a caesarean section delivery, you can use this gentle oil to massage your hands and arms as well as helping the scar to heal. When Not to massage the perineum: Do not use perineal massage, if you have vaginal herpes, thrush or any other vaginal infections.
