Antenatal perineal massage (APM) or Birth Canal Widening (BCW) is the massage (painless stretching) of a pregnant woman's perineum – the skin and deep tissues around the opening to the vagina or ('birth canal' – when a baby is in this passage), performed in the 4 to 6 weeks before childbirth, i.e., 25 weeks onwards, just in case the baby is born at 28 weeks and usually on six consecutive days, and continued weekly until birth. The practice aims to gently mimic the 'massaging' action of a baby's head on the opening to the birth canal (vagina) prior to birth, to achieve the 10cm diameter opening without using the back of baby's head, i.e., doing some of the hard work of labour (birth) before the start of labour, making birth less stressful on the baby and mother. The intention is also to att

  • Antenatal perineal massage (APM) or Birth Canal Widening (BCW) is the massage (painless stretching) of a pregnant woman's perineum – the skin and deep tissues around the opening to the vagina or ('birth canal' – when a baby is in this passage), performed in the 4 to 6 weeks before childbirth, i.e., 25 weeks onwards, just in case the baby is born at 28 weeks and usually on six consecutive days, and continued weekly until birth. The practice aims to gently mimic the 'massaging' action of a baby's head on the opening to the birth canal (vagina) prior to birth, to achieve the 10cm diameter opening without using the back of baby's head, i.e., doing some of the hard work of labour (birth) before the start of labour, making birth less stressful on the baby and mother. The intention is also to attempt to: prevent tearing of the perineum during birth; eliminate the need for an episiotomy during an instrument (forceps and vacuum extraction) delivery; to avoid infection (cellulitis and necrotising fasciitis), helping to keep antibiotics working into the future. This technique uses Plastic Surgeons 'skin tissue expansion' principle, to aid a natural birth. (en)
