Can LVNs work in Labor & Delivery?

DOES PREGNANT "GIRL ON TOP" WORK FOR LABOR AND DELIVERY?

  • I was told by a close friend who is also a mother that starting at my 7th month (which is where I am) lots of girl-on-top sex is very useful during pregnancy because it stretches the vagina enough to avoid complications at labor... Is this true??

  • Answer:

    No. Usually 'girl on top' sex is a necessity to get around your growing bump, but no penis will stretch your vagina in preparation for having an entire person pass through there. 60% of births are accompanied by some form of perineal trauma, regardless of what preparations you were doing at home. Before and during labour, listen to your doctor/midwife about pushing and stopping, and maybe try perineal massage to help prevent a tear. If you tear, you tear, stitches heal relatively quickly. While they're uncomfortable and painful for a few days, and need a little more care than without a tear, it's common and you'll be given clear instructions on how to keep it clean until it heals.

doubt it ur not soposed to do it in ur 3rd or 2nd trimester i think

Hello, No.Walking during labour and not giving birth flat on your back all help with the birth process.Also a gentle,slow birth,not pushing too hard as the head crowns,allowing time for the perineum to stretch.Warm olive oil and hot flannels applied during stretching help a lot,plus massage of that area.You can even do it yourself. A good site to look at is:Unassisted Childbirth. Good Luck.x
