Hi I had never heard of it til seeing your post. Just googled it and read the info. It is defo something I will be considering in the later stages of my pregnancy. Quite frankly an episiotomy scares the crap out of me! So if I can train my muscles to reduce the risk if needing one I'm all for it! x
Yeah, I agree it sounds like it would be worth a go. I have now ordered one (am 34 weeks on Thursday) so will let you know how it goes! xx
I'm going to go with perineal massage - only thing I've seen in practice that seemed to reduce complications.
Thanks Dr Fluffy! Yes, I plan to do that too. In fact, I think the Epi-no is designed to be used in conjunction with perineal massage ... xx
