Did this massage to my wife when she was pregnant and it did help a lot. Also learned before and after birth exercises and these were very important. Giving birth is incredibly demanding for a woman, emotional and physical, so whatever might help consider doing it.

@gringalatina3636 Жыл бұрын

Yes, this is normal!! The vagina is super sensitive right now with a lot of extra blood flow. As long as you’re not getting contractions/cramping, then it should be fine. Always run it by your doctor though, but it sounds normal to me. Also expect a little bit of bleeding if your having sex right now too because of the same reasons.
