Good evening, everyone! During my first delivery, I experienced tearing and also had an episiotomy. I'm due for my second delivery in June, and I'm afraid of experiencing tearing and cuts again. Is there any way to prepare and avoid tearing? Please advise. I read about the Dianatal gel, but it's too expensive for me.)

Hello! I understand your concerns. To prevent tears and cuts during your second childbirth, you can take the following steps: 1. Maintain the elasticity of the skin and tissues of the perineum through massage and Kegel exercises. This will help improve blood supply and flexibility of the tissues. 2. Consider a diet rich in vitamins and minerals that will help strengthen the tissues and improve their elasticity. 3. Choose a birthing position that will be least traumatic for your body. Discuss this with your doctor. 4. Discuss with your doctor the possibility of using oil or cream to moisturize and soften the perineal tissues. 5. Do not hesitate to discuss your concerns with your doctor. They will be able to provide you with individual recommendations and help you prepare for childbirth. I hope these tips will help you avoid tears and cuts during your second childbirth. Good luck and stay healthy!

Tearing during childbirth can also depend on the obstetrician, so if you want to avoid tears, you need a more experienced obstetrician who can manage the childbirth from start to finish.

Try doing perineal massage, Google it for more details. In my first delivery, the baby was almost 3 kg and I still had tears, but during the second delivery the baby was almost 4 kg and the third was 3.5 kg, and there were no tears because I did the massage after 36 weeks.

The most important thing is to listen to the doctors when they tell you to push or to endure and relax, as a lot really depends on it. After the first childbirth, irreversible changes occur in the cervix, which is why often the second childbirth happens more swiftly than the first - it's easier for the baby to pass through. It might also help to learn a bit more about the stages of labor to understand the process, know which stage you are at, and what specifically is important at the moment. Good luck!
