I recommend a midwife or group of midwives if you want an unassisted, natural birth. They are rockstars, and unlike most OBs they will really spend time helping you through labor. Even if something goes wrong during your natural birth (my baby went into distress) the midwives are more likely to get the baby out with as little medical intervention as possible (the OB at my hospital wanted to cut me open immediately, but the midwives held him off long enough for me to push baby out!).
