I would counsel this woman on diet, talk to her about use of warm
compresses/use of tub during labor to warm the tissue and have her do
small pushes with good perieneal support. I think that it is very
important to give these women a positive message about their bodies
ability to give birth.
Their is a great book with a chapter dedicated to perineal health,
massage and preparation prior to labor it is call Mother Massage and is
available at most bookstores in the pregnancy section.
Yours in Good Health,

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not to thy
own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He
shall direct thy paths.
