“Not everything is an act of violence, you know.” OB to a mother, moments after she delivered a double-footling breech baby over an intact perineum. OB attempted to cut an episiotomy without mother’s knowledge or consent, and stopped only when mother was alerted to episiotomy-in-progress by doula and husband and shouted “I do not consent to an episiotomy!” two times.

“Well, we typically don’t perform episiotomies. If the situation warrants considering one, we usually just mention it and the baby is born before we have to do more than threaten.” -Midwife to potential client during interview.
