I am currently 28 weeks pregnant and just started my Bradley classes. I would like to have a natural birth but in a hospital setting. Last night, my instructor said that I am not at a very natural birth friendly practice. Although my ob is natural friendly, she feels that some of the other doctors may not feel that way and they have a high c-section rate. Plus, she said that the hospital I am delivering at will try to take the baby as soon as possible from us unless we have a note from our pediatrician.
I am a little torn because both my husband and I like our ob and I have heard nothing but awesome things about him in labor. But I know the chances of me having him there are very slim. We are planning to have a midwife/doula to help me labor at home as much as possible.
I was pretty confident in our plan until last night and now I am doubting it. My husband thinks we should just roll with it but I am not so sure - and I love to second guess myself. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I think that it depends on the doctors and your situation. Are their other options? Do you feel comfortable sticking up for yourself if you need to? Could you have a doula?
Do not let your Bradley instructor use fear to make you change. Yes, OBs tend to not be as supportive but their are good ones out there. Make you decision on your situation. GL!
