Most of the time it is a small tear unless a huge baby or quick labor. Episiotomy is guaranteed. Not to mention the nerve fibers never recover. That is why it is better to take your chances.

Really? The ONLY medical intervention I had was the episiotomy, and my sister on the other hand, tore up horribly! She looked like hamburger. I felt nothing when they cut me, and healed up quickly and easily, both times. Once upon a time, women used to tear until they lost bowel or bladder control. Tearing is cheaper for the hospital, but no thank you! Tearing? Really? The ONLY medical intervention I had was the episiotomy, and my sister on the other hand, tore up horribly!

My first required one but I ended up tearing too, the episiodomy healed so much better than the tear, and now I'm expecting my 2nd and would prefer something that healed nicer if I need one, but the doctor keeps saying no, they believe in "natural tearing"?
