pregnancy massaging techniques
Where is the uretha and how do you avoid it during perineum massage for pregnancy?
I feel embarassingly uneducated hahah!
I got the following information from the internet but I dont want to do it wrong! Thanks.
Technique for Perineum Massage:
Wash hands thoroughly.
Trim nails to remove sharp edges.
Apply the lubricant of your choice to the perineum (olive oil, KY jelly, sweet almond oil, vitamin E, etc)
Place the thumbs into the base of the vagina up to the first joint, making sure they are well lubricated.
Using gentle but firm pressure, move the thumbs from the base of the vagina up the side walls as if you were making a “U”, but remembering to avoid the urethra.
As you feel a tingle or stretching, hold the position until it subsides and then continue upward.
Return the thumbs to the base of the vagina, and repeat.
Actually just go pee and watch where it comes out. The urethra is at the top of the vagina (closer toward your belly button as opposed to your back). When you massage, you stretch the bottom of your vagina down closer to your butt hole.
