i agree N2L.
i was cut and have no problem with it. i was asked before she did it and i said that it was fine. i was also well stitched up and recovered nicely. i trust that it was the best thing to have happen at that time in the birth of that baby. by the time i was holding him in my arms, i really couldn't have cared either way. i trusted my care giver and i vaginally birthed a 10 and a half pounder.
