Episiotomy: The birth experience is scary to think about. If they do need to cut, it is the outside and will be done to avoid you ripping the tissues when the baby's head comes out. The will numb it with a local anesthesia, it is called an episiotomy. The doctors and their helpers will tell you to start to push when you are fully dilated and effaced (thinned out). Try to relax and enjoy the rest of your preg.
