If you’re looking for a better relationship with your doctor make sure you talk about what you would like to have happen.
If you would rather use a midwife to make sure you have someone there to help you stay calm and comfortable, ask around for references of an experienced midwife who will explain each transition phase as you are giving birth. Establishing trust and support with the midwife before the actual birth will help things go smoothly in the delivery room.
