                     How a Perineal Massage 
can Help You in your 
Pregnancy
Have you ever heard about 
Perineal Massages? If not, no 
worries. You are at the right place 
to know more about Perineal 
Massage. It is also known as 
prenatal massage or pregnancy 
massage.
It's a type of massage done 
during pregnancy to relax 
pregnant women and lessen 
pain in their lower back, 
legs, and feet.
Perineal massage is given for 
reducing perineal tearing that may 
occur during childbirth. Perineal 
tearing often occurs when the 
baby's head passes through the 
vaginal opening during delivery.
The doctor or midwives usually 
perform this kind of massage 
before labour begins in order to 
stretch open the perineum so it 
can expand easily while 
pushing out your baby.
Perineal massages are also helpful in 
speeding up postnatal recovery. 
Perineal massage is a safe and healthy 
way to prepare for childbirth, relieve 
pain during labor, speed your recovery 
after the delivery and it helps you bond 
with your baby immediately after birth.
Perineal massage is done by a professional or 
someone who has received training because 
there are some risks involved if the person 
performing this kind of massage isn't 
experienced or trained enough. Perineal tearing 
may occur if not performed correctly so it 
should be done only by someone who knows 
what they're doing.
 Perineal Massage can make 
women feel better about their 
bodies as it improves blood flow 
to the uterus during pregnancy 
thus alleviating many discomforts 
like back aches, leg cramps, and 
edema.
Perineal massage also helps 
women sleep better during 
pregnancy by decreasing 
anxiety and depression 
through the release of feel 
good hormones like endorphin.
Perineal Massage can help you in many ways 
such as it can make your baby come out 
faster and with less pain. Perineal massages 
are done before labour to prepare perineum 
for childbirth which is a very gentle way to 
stretch open the perineum and its tissues 
without putting any strain on your body, thus 
making pushing more comfortable and easier 
for both you and baby. 
Perineal Massage massages also 
reduce stress while preparing the 
mind & body for labor while also 
relieving fatigue during pregnancy. 
Perineal Massage Massage can be 
done throughout the pregnancy to 
help prevent tearing during labor.
