Answer to Question 1

4
1, 2, 3. Incorrect. Reddish haired women have tissue that is less distensible than darker-skinned women and so may have less efficient healing. First time mothers are also more at risk, especially with breech births, long second-stage labors, or rapid labors in which there is insufficient time for the perineum to stretch. The rate of episiotomies is higher when obstetricians rather than midwives attend births.
