    OMG!!! That is completely unprofessional. Routine episiotomies are completely not appropriate - I hope you reported her completely unprofessional conduct???

    It also demonstates how much control she likes!! What a silly woman!!! I'm really pleased your husband reacted the way he did. The more women that refuse these "routine procedures" the better the hospital will have cope with it and find alternative solutions for the birthing women.
    I've attended a lot of births, in the Uk I only ever saw one episiotomy..and here only one birth that I have attended DIDNT have an episiotomy....really shocking.
    Kellys absoltely right...women really do need to be as informed as they can. A fantastic book is Your Birth Rights by Sally Inch..( I think, from Memory) I was fortunate enough to read it during my first pregnancy..and it stood me in very good ground, it changed everything for me.
    Kelly....You know how much I would love you to get in touch when in Perth..xxxxxxx
