I just want to point out that episiotomies are NOT routine birth practice.

on pretty much every birthplan i see it is written

I do not want an episiotomy unless absolutely necessary.

Why do women think that they would be given an episiotomy if it wasn't absolutely necessary and an emergency situation?

Do women think midwives are scissor weilding harpies who routinely cut perineums because they want to?

Episiotomy is NOT a routine procedure. You will NOT be given one unless you really really need one.

that's all.

NB, for the record OP, we have therefore added the word "I just want".
THanks
