Preparing the birth canal for labor can help facilitate a smoother delivery:
Perineal Massage: Regularly massaging the perineum in the weeks leading up to labor can help stretch the tissues and reduce the risk of tears. Pelvic Floor Exercises: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through exercises such as Kegels can improve muscle tone and support during childbirth. Staying Active: Regular physical activity can help maintain pelvic health and prepare the body for the demands of labor.
