EPI-NO

To prevent tearing in childbirth

How do I prevent tearing in childbirth?

“Preventing tearing in childbirth involves preparing the perineum through daily massage from 34-35 weeks, using warm compresses during labour, choosing upright or side-lying birthing positions and pushing slowly as the baby crowns.” NHS

You can also use a medical device to stretch your perineum and prepare your pelvic floor muscles for birth.

Preparing for the birth of your child is something which women all over the world care about and think about, and in the UK, the NHS recommend perineal massage from 34 weeks.

EPI-NO Delphine Plus is an innovative birth training device available in the UK and Ireland, which will complement your perineal massage.

From 32 weeks, it teaches you to relax the pelvic floor muscles, and from 37 weeks, it gently stretches the perineum, reducing the risk of tearing and mentally prepares you for childbirth.

Gentle stretching reduces the risk of tearing by 42%

It can be used from any time during the pregnancy to exercise the pelvic floor muscles, but from 37 weeks the EPI-NO exercises enhance the function of the natural pregnancy hormone ‘relaxin’ to prepare the perineum with gentle stretching exercises known as perineal massage.

This then reduces the risk of tearing or the need for an episiotomy during childbirth.

“I would highly recommend the Epi-No. I had an incredible birthing experience, all natural with no tearing. The Epi-No prepared me physically and mentally for the birth of my son. It was an incredible day I’ll never forget”

– Claire from London

“The Epi-No increased my confidence about my ability to birth my child. I was fortunate to have a straight forward delivery with no tears and I recovered quickly. My previous birth wasn’t as straight forward and I believe that the Epi-No helped prevent perineal damage for my second baby. I wish I had known about it the first time round!”

– Amy from Crowborough

“I would definitely recommend this product. It was a bit strange to use at first, but once you get used to it, you will love it. Both functions the pelvic floor trainer and the stretching – only used the pelvic floor trainer from 37 weeks but wished i had used it sooner. I recommend it now to all my friends!”

– Jane from Macclesfield
