When to Start: The best results have been shown when you massage your perineum 3 times a week for 10 minutes, starting from 34–35 weeks of pregnancy up to the birth. 2. Position: The best time to massage your perineum is after a bath or shower when you are relaxed and the perineum is softer, as the blood vessels are dilated. Make yourself comfy on the bed, with lots of pillows supporting your back with knees bent out. Alternatively you can rest in the bath or sit on the toilet. 3.
