Lily, I think that's great. You are being positive and respectful and getting your feelings across. The only thing I would add is that in the event that a medical intervention should become necessary, that you have an opportunity to discuss anything that is being done in advance, and that you wish to avoid any augmentation of labor unless it is medically necessary. Might want to add what your wishes are with respect to an episiotomy too, unless you are comfortable with your doctor knowing your wishes. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
