Tips to push & minimize tear

I have 6 more weeks to go before EDD and hoping for vaginal birth with epidural. Any mummies can share any tips to minimise tearing down there during delivery ? How to push and any tips and methods to push? As i heard the nurse wont teach us how to push. Heard that controlling our breathing, not lifting the butt and put chin down when pushing helps. #FTM

hey! i just gave birth 3 weeks ago. i had internal tears and was on epidural. the nurses teach me on how to push and do not lift up my butt no matter what. yes put your chin down and push when you feel contractions! i kept on saying i couldn't do it but the nurses were really sweet and give me encouragment so i pushed for 24 mins and it was a relieved after my baby was out! i wish you all the best and remember the moment you thought you couldn't do it, YOU CAN DO IT MAMA 💖
