Motherlove Birth & Baby Oil (2 oz) is a mild lavender scented oil that is ideal for perineal massage during labor. It has no essential oils, and it is gentle enough for your baby's newborn skin. It is also an excellent oil for dry skin or to help clear up eczema.

Research has shown that massage in the perineum and surrounding areas can reduce the need for an episiotomy during birth. An episiotomy is a surgical cut placed between the vagina and the rectum (the perineum) to allow the region to expand while giving birth. Although an episiotomy is painful and sometimes necessary, wouldn't it be nice to avoid it altogether?

You can use Motherlove's Birth & Baby Oil in the area of the perineum during the last four to five weeks (for four minutes each day) to help the vaginal area to expand and help avoid an episiotomy or tearing. The mother (or her partner) can use finger pressure inside the entry to the vagina and apply downward and sideways pressure toward the perineum. The research shows that this may increase flexibility in the walls of the vagina, which will help widen the region during delivery.

Although an episiotomy is sometimes necessary, it would be nice to avoid it altogether because it can be painful and will take time to heal. An episiotomy is a surgical cut placed between the vagina and the rectum (the perineum) to allow the region to expand while giving birth. Massaging the perineum and surrounding vaginal area during the last few weeks of pregnancy can reduce the potential for tearing, or the need for an episiotomy while delivering your new little miracle.
