Question about a midwife

I just scheduled an appointment with a midwife at Associates in Women's Health in Sylvania. My midwife will be Jonelea Thomas. Anyone use her for delivery?

When I had my daughter at Toledo Hospital, I was very disappointed with the doctor who delivered. It was not my normal doc, which I was expecting to happen anyways. She wouldn't let me deliver in the position I wanted to. I had come up with a birth plan and went over it with my doctor before. She didn't seem to have a problem with it. And on my birth plan I said I want to be able to deliver in any position that's comfortable for me. I tried kneeling on the bed and holding onto the top of the bed (sort of on all fours). It relieved the pain in my back so much! But, she only let me go through a couple contractions like that and then said she has never delivered a baby upside down so I would have to lay on my back. You just catch it woman! You would think a doctor who's delivered probably hundreds of babies would know how to deliver in a different position than on your back, which is more painful for the mom and harder for the baby to come out. I ended up tearing (cause I said no way to an episiotomy!) My friend was with me in the room. She isn't a certified midwife, but she's delivered or helped deliver hundreds of babies and has had 12 herself (11 of them at home). She said if I would have been able to deliver on all fours the baby probably would have come out faster and I wouldn't have torn or been in so much pain, cause I did it natural. Sorry, I'm venting. I'm a little bitter! haha!

Anyways I decided I wanted a midwife who would be more open to that type of stuff. I asked when I set up the appointment if they will deliver in any position and she said, yes of course! So I'm relieved by that. I'm not pregnant right now, but my husband and I are probably going to start trying to get pregnant again soon. But, also my sister-in-law is pregnant and made an appointment with the same office. So she's pretty much wondering the same things I am.

 For anyone who has used this midwife or another one at this office, just wondering how the delivery went. Were they open to different things as far as positions and whatnot? Are they more doctor-minded or more geared toward you and the baby? It just seems like a lot of doctors don't really care about you so much, they just want to do their job, deliver the baby and get out of there. Instead of focusing on you and the baby and what's best for you.

 Okay, sorry this was so long! Thanks for any input!
