Hi Lynn

First...thans for your reply about childbirth. I've heard of doing

the perinial massage a few weeks before you are due to get the area

" softened " up.

I was given Nitro by Dr. Bermann, UCLA. I only tried it once

and it burned soo much that I never gave it another chance. I had so

much burning and pain at that point, I never pursued it!

It is so good to hear from you. ARe you doing any better? I have

only had a few bad days during my pregnancy..so I can't complain.

Take care!!!

Alison
