I don't know the answer to your first question about expectations on a midwife. I'd like to think midwives know these things and would be proactive, but my experience of hospital midwives was very handsoff - which is good... but they were so handsoff they were of no support. On analysing my 2nd birth, my private midwife and I worked out I had something like an anterior lip. Even I know I should have been up and moving and squatting to get bub through the cervix, but when I labour I don't want to move LOL. But a midwife could well have coaxed me to try different things I'm sure, as it was painful dilating and pushing at the same time!

Re the turning an OP baby during labour.. I'm assuming IOL stands for induction of labour? I wouldn't personally be confident of turning a baby during an induction, as the labour is more full on, and might not give bub a chance to naturally position himself. Plus with induction there is monitoring etc etc which inhibits mum moving into an ideal position to help bub turn.

Check out spinning babies for suggestions to try. Things like always sitting with knees lower than your hips etc. Or get scrubbing those floors on all fours
Most of my hospital MW's were very hands off, but maybe that was partly our fault, because we bought a doula with us and asked them to let nature take it's course. This time the emphasis is on being proactive and hands on.

I think the same happened with the actual birth, they were very hands off with the peri and this time I am asking them to be proactive and hands on.

IOL is induction, and I'm also slightly concerned that if the IOL involves ARM that it will be even harder to turn this baby so I'm fighting to find a non-IOL way to feel in control.
