Episiotomies used to by a routine procedure when having a baby. In fact my mom used to say, about my birth, that they [doctors] cut her from "stem to sternum". That doesn't sound very pleasant! Not only is it not very pleasant, it most cases it is completely unnecessary. Studies show that tearing naturally is less painful, more easy to repair, and heals more quickly. So be very weary if your doctor or midwife routinely does episiotomies. The less "snipping" the better!
