If I have intercourse with my husband daily do you think it will help reduce tearing for a vaginal birth? ↓

| I don't know for sure if it helps the area or not, but I tore with my son and there was nothing that they could have done any differently to stop it. I didn't have much intercourse at the end of my pregnancy though, but I was so big and uncomfortable, my husband was very understanding. Maybe your Dr. would be able to give you advice on anything you can do to lower your chances. As for me, my baby was too big, I couldn't avoid it, but it heals. ↑ |

| Not sure if it helps. When I was pregnant with my first, my husband and I didn't do it daily, but 4-5 times a week, and I tore. But during delivery, my doctor tried to stretch me...not exactly sure what she did since I couldn't see what was going on, but she said that if she manually stretched me, then I wouldn't need an episiotomy. Like I already said, I tore a little, but they didn't have to cut me. ↑ |

| I had an episiotomy and tore through it too, but my baby was really big compared to the average birth weight. You don't feel it at the time, they give you a shot to numb you right before you push your baby out. It helps so you don't feel anything when they repair you, or if they have to cut. I found that the cut didn't hurt much as it healed, but the tearing really took longer to heal. Don't worry about it though, you heal just fine and your Dr. will only do it if necessary. ↑ |

| I wouldnt think that would help. But I can tell you that my dr with my 1st baby tried to stretch me out before the head came out and I only tore a little bit with #1. I am not sure if there is anything you can do to prevent tearing or being cut. If you do tear or cut they will stich you up. I dont remember that hurting to much during the healing process ↑ |

| Nobody really knows.. Your body if different than everyone elses. I know I had sex with my husband 2 or 3 time a day for the last few months.. give or take a few nights.. But I ended up having an epesiotamy. I didn't really notice any effects of the epesiotamy except it hurt to go #2 but then again I think that hurts either way for a bit after a baby. ↑ |

| You might try perineal massage . A few minutes of massage either by your husband or you. It saved me from epitsotomy or tearing. ↑ |
