[quote=Anonymous]OP you need to find your inner power! Yep, OB's and midwifes oversee your care, however YOU are the one giving birth to this child! OB's are literally there incase something goes wrong (and to then cut you open). They are surgeon's. That's what they do. Assuming you and the baby stay healthy and on track, you are the one doing all the work!

I personally could've cared less who was overseeing my care. FWIW I started with an OB, loved her, but wanted a natural birth and week 16 I switched to a midwife. Water broke at 37 weeks, but labor didn't start (after many natural interventions at the birth center), and I ended up at the hospital for pitocin (which lead to an epidural). I was close to a cs (baby stuck behind my pubic bone, had issues tracking her heart rate), but after 2 hours of pushing out she came.

Really OP, you want a good OB in your back pocket as your "just incase". You will spend the majority of time when you're delivering with a nurse anyways, they dr only comes in to check occasionally and when you're crowning.[/quote]
