If you get a bad vibe about your provider, DON'T stay with them. Alot of women have provider loyalty, and won't switch, even when the provider continues to do things that are against what the mother wants, or just plain out of date. The provider probably won't even know if you switch, and your birth experience is SOOO important, that you need to make sure to protect it and have the best one you can.
I HIGHLY recommend midwives. They are usually alot more woman care, hands off oriented.
Some books to read are
The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth
Ina May's Guide to Childbirth
Heart & Hands A Midwife's Guide to Pregnancy & Birth
What else do you recommend?
