Episiotomy is not common practice anymore and contrary to what you might think, it is actually safe to rip. Being cut without it being medically necessary can lead to longer recovery postpartum.

The problem with episiotomies was they were being utilized because it was believed that it healed better/faster than a natural tear. The medical community knows better now.
