@serenitylifedoula: 😰”I DON’T WANT TO TEAR!!” . PUSHING 🚫HARD & FAST ✅SLOW & STEADY . ✅Allow baby’s head to stretch your perineum!! Your perineum is like a rubber band. IT WILL STRETCH!! . 🙌🏻The relaxin hormone in your body allows your body to open and stretch!! . 🌬Focus on short breaths or pants as the uterus does its job pushing your baby’s head out of your body allowing the perineal tissues time to stretch. . ✅Perineum support is an option to reduce the chances of tearing. Ask your healthcare provider what type of perineal support they will offer to you during a vaginal delivery if you request it. . Train with me!
