I didn't have a plan for either of my kids. The only things we really discussed with anyone were that I was not to have epi or spinal under any circumstances and that I wanted to nurse. Why stress over making a plan when you have to go with the flow anyway?
A thought on the episiotomy: If you have fabric with a cut in it, say a pair of jeans, and pressure is applied in that location it is going to tear worse, and farther than uncut fabric would have. It is very similar with our bodies. Some of the worst tears are a result of episiotomies. I had an episiotomy with my 1st birth, and opted against it for my subsequent (5) children, because the healing process (without further tearing) was pretty rough for me. I actually gave birth to a 12 lb baby (3rd birth) with no need for stitches, so our bodies can stretch an amazing amount! Just a thought to ponder, but don't feel judged if you prefer one!!
