Tips to push & minimize tear

I have 6 more weeks to go before EDD and hoping for vaginal birth with epidural. Any mummies can share any tips to minimise tearing down there during delivery ? How to push and any tips and methods to push? As i heard the nurse wont teach us how to push. Heard that controlling our breathing, not lifting the butt and put chin down when pushing helps. #FTM

Nope, both pregnancy doctor/nurse/midwife thought me how to push, chin down, butt down, no screaming/shouting/voice. Just do silent push, each contractions take a deep breathe push. Follow your pace, dont panic. I had tearing for both pregnancy, normal as well as vacuum assisted though both was the technic I took in. So tearing will happened but wont be as bad as if you lift butt or you do it wrongly.
