Ouch. I'm sorry you have this attitude. Doctors are doing everything right these days. Especially for them. Most do a good job, but with malpractice clouds lurking everywhere, they must play CYA as they balance patient health and liability.
Please keep this in mind as you pursue the "normal route thing" of prenatal care and birth. Much of what happens is not for the health of the mother or baby, but to reduce their liability, like ordering excessive testing or such. I think it's a good idea to have your first child in well-watched surroundings, but don't give up control of what happens.
I had my daughter 15 years ago and went the typical route of my ob doc, who is also an infertility expert. We had to go the medical means route to conceive. Anyway, At 32 weeks I developed toxemia and was hospitalized for 2 weeks prior to an emergency c-section...in order to save my life. My organs were shutting down and my blood pressure was 190/120 and climbing, putting me at risk for stroke/seizure. So, if I were to have gone the midwife route I very well could have died.
However, one friend developed difficulties in her pregnancy in her 5th month and the midwife advised her to seek care from a doctor. Good counsel.
I think I'm safe in saying that overall, licensed midwives are excellent birthing coaches and pregnancy care givers. The ones I know of are RN's with advanced courses in midwifery and licensed, working under the accountability of a medical doctor.
