hi. I was just wondering if getting an episiotomy hurt if you were having a drugfree labour?? i had one with DD but i also had an epidural so i was off in laa-laa land and didnt feel anything. Do they cut you when ur contracting or when ur between contractions??
also ive heard that tearing hurts less than an episiotomy during healing. is that true?? would you be better off tearing or having the doctor cut you to stop possible tearing??
