My wife opted to go with a midwife and she totally loved it. No disrespect to nurses (my mom is an OB nurse) but sometimes they are run so hard that they just make the whole birthing process very mechanincal and unemotional. The midwife was able to help us through the whole process, and was very caring and very supportive. Even in labour, she was very calm and very knowledgeable. Since you're about to deliver soon I dont' think you've taken the midwife option, but if you have another child, I strongly endorse them.
My wife's water broke at 3 a.m. and she delivered by 6:30 a.m. First child. I don't think she knows how easy she had it. lol. It's a good thing too, because if you have a midwife, they don't use anesthetics or any drugs. They're all about being natural and all that stuff. So if my wife had complications, and she needed drugs, the midwife is officially out of her job. She has to back off and let a doctor take over. Like I say, my wife's delivery was complication free, and I don't imagine you'll have it that good, but there's always hope!
