i never needed one and am very glad i didnt though i had ticked yes on the birth plan because an episiotomy is better than tearing
and lucy is right, oils are great to do some natural healing. i used cypress and lavender oils.
urchin, you may be envious but i think you're brave, so it balances matters out dont you think?!

ild never have a home birth
when i was in labour i was refusing to push as it was stinging, they gave my a injection into the bit between the fairy and the bum and they said it will numb it just like when you go the dentist, as that burning stinging pain is horrid
i must have a huge fairy though as i never tore or was cut
