[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are also OBs that support natural birth and provide good care. [b]I'll never understand the anti-OB view of some people.[/b] Especially wisdom patients, who benefit often from the skills of OBs if there are issues the midwives can't handle at delivery. 
The only thing you can control is being your own advocate. It seems certain midwives care a whole mess about their statistics and judge/shame in order to ensure their stats are good.

I had an unmedicated labor with an OB, so know that I am coming from a place of having found a good OB and agreeing that you can have a positive experience with an OB in a hospital.

That said, OBs are trained to be surgeons, and many times they think of labor complications in that mindset. Some OBs have a 70% c-section rate! I personally went with my OB because she had only a 12% c-section rate, but with some practices, you don't know who will be delivering you or if they support unmedicated vaginal delivery except in emergent situations.
