im obese never had any epi or tear.. not a single stitch. ive also never used any pain meds as im a control freak and the thought of my head spining from gas doesnt float my boat!

sorry but the generalisation in any sense is complete BS! Im obese would have been easy 110 at 169cm at both births. No pain meds, No epis, No forceps or salad scoops, No tear, full public service midwife only, birthed squatting & birthed on birth bean bag & very quick births (including all stages)

there was never a suggestion of epi, gas or otherwise.. one crazy midwife who wanted 2 get my personal details check my BP etc kept on going on about water injections in my back.. which ive never heard of b4 but after a internal stopped insisting as i was 8cm dilated.. no crap! i go to the hospital to deliver not to have a chat over tea.. grr

i hate that despite my perfect record of wonderful births & healthy babies that im classified as "high risk" its like telling cathy freeman she may have won gold at running but no she cant run 4 ****.. WTF?!!!
