What are your views on perineal massage?I have a fear of tearing. When do you start the massage? I'm currently 34 weeks.

Yes there are no guarantees that is prevents a tear. It would probably help a little but the effect is either insignificant or not proven. I didn't consider this as well as the area is a little awkward. Probably would do it myself if I could but a bulging tummy makes it tough.
