DUO PACK:
* PERINEAL MASSAGE OIL DUO PACK 1 x 30ml
* PREGNANCY and LABOUR MASSAGE OIL 1 x 30ml
Down Below PERINEUM OIL is recommended for use from 34 weeks on.
Our Perineal Massage Oil has been blended with oils chosen to
have properties that allow the skin of the perineum to 'give'
more easily.
The pure Omega rich oil, with added E, helps to increase
the natural suppleness allowing for greater stretch of the
perineum during the birth. Perineal massage has been shown to aid
the faster recovery from perineal trauma. Used regularly during
pregnancy, as part of your safe pregnant care regime solution, it
therefore allows skin stretch during birth and reduces likelihood
of tears, whilst studies also show it can aid with soreness,
reduce swelling, bruising and help recovery.

Caution: If you have a vaginal infection, contact your Midwife or
Doctor and stop perineal massage until the infection has been
cleared. You can then recommence massaging the perineum.
Preparing to Massage: To give a massage have short nails. No
jewellery or watches.
Before you massage: Wash hands. Press the palms of your hands
together firmly 3-6 times. Now shake your hand to release the
tension. Ask if she has any ies, particularly nut. If you
choose a blended aromatherapy oil, check to see if it is suitable

(vegetable) oil as they contain s, minerals and are omega
rich to nourish and hydrate the skin. The vegetable oils in
Motherlylove blends are suitable for pregnancy, especially dry,
sensitive itchy skins.
Perineum Massage - How to Massage the Perineum:
Using Motherlylove Down Below Perineum Massage Oil. The
advantages of perineal massage. By getting to know your body you
can have more confidence to deliver your baby. Massage increases
the blood flow to the perineum allowing more stretch and less
pain during the birth of your baby. Helps you to focus on letting
your perineum open up.
Practise your pelvic floor exercises and breathing exercises, as
this will also help at the birth. Tears to the perineum are less
likely.
Your perineum is less likely to be painful three months after the
birth .
1. When to Start: The best results have been shown when you
massage your perineum 3 times a week for 10 minutes, starting
from 34–35 weeks of pregnancy up to the birth.
2. Position: The best time to massage your perineum is after a
bath or shower when you are relaxed and the perineum is softer,
as the blood vessels are dilated. Make yourself comfy on the bed,
with lots of pillows supporting your back with knees bent out.
Alternatively you can rest in the bath or sit on the toilet.
3. How to Massage the Perineum: Use a small a of
Motherlylove Perineal Massage
Oil (no added essential oils) to
lubricate the area. Place your thumbs in the vagina, with the
first two fingers of each hand outside on your bottom, then press
downwards towards the anus with your thumbs. Move your thumbs up
each side of your vagina, in a small U shape stretching movement.
The stretch should be held, with your thumbs at the widest point
of the vagina, for 30-40 seconds. To get the maximum benefit,
massage for up to 10 minutes using this technique.
The Motherlylove Perineal Massage Oil is formulated to im- prove
the natural elasticity of the skin. This feeling of stretching
will be similar to the one when your baby’s head is appearing. If
at first it is sore – stop and try another day. 4. Tips when
Massaging the Perineum
As you advance in pregnancy, your partner could be shown how to
massage your perineum. Instead of using their thumbs they should
use their index fingers. Good communication is important. Having
a balanced diet helps y skin to stretch. At the birth of
your baby the midwife will be able to advise you on different
positions you can adopt in labour, which will en- able you to
have a controlled delivery.
Listen to your midwife for advice when to push and when to stop
pushing in the second stage of labour.
If you are going to have a caesarean section delivery, you can
use this gentle oil to massage your hands and arms as well as
helping the to heal. When Not to massage the perineum: Do
not use perineal massage, if you have vaginal herpes, thrush or
any other vaginal infections.
