LS and vaginal birth/delivery

I'm really sorry if this is going to be TMI, but I'm pretty anxious about the whole situation right now.

I was diagnosed with LS when I was very young, but I completely forgot about it. Fast forward to this year when I got pregnant, and my mum said "oh yeah remember to tell the midwife you have LS". Well, I did, and my midwife went... "what's that?", and so did every other midwife since then.

Long story short, I've never been managed by anyone, not the GP, nadda, and now the midwifery team don't really seem to know much apart from "increased risk of tearing and do perineal massage". They haven't even looked at me down there or referred me anywhere.

I booked to see a private pelvic floor physio who looked for me, and she said everything looks normal but is just lacking moisture/elasticity. She recommended some products, but I'm concerned as sometimes I get minor perineal tears if during intimacy there's too much pressure there, and I'm not being funny, but my foof just seems too damn tiny to fit out a huge fricking baby.

I'm basically looking for advice/reassurance, because I'm 30 weeks now and feel like I'm running out of time, and the NHS seems to know jack poo about LS in my area.
