An episiotomy is a surgical cut to your perineum to aid natural delivery as some women may experience severe tearing if episiotomies are not done. It's not necessary as I opted not to have an epi when I gave birth. Unless absolutely necessary, it's not usually recommended. http://pregnant.sg/articles/pregnancy-terms-what-is-an-episiotomy/
