I used EPI-NO while pregnant with my first child. Not only did it give me confidence to go into labour without fear of tearing or episiotomy, it helped me to understand the feeling of pressure created by the baby's head during birth. Because of this I was not fearful at all, and I believe this allowed for a smooth, natural birth with no stitches (and she was 9lb. 4oz.). I also think using EPI-NO helps with the recovery process because when you stretch a muscle you actually strengthen it which results in less liklihood of urinary incontinence. While pregnant with my second child I did not hesitate to use EPI-NO again. I also recommend it to all my pregnant patients. Its just another great way of preparing your body for an easy, more natural birth.
