I have had the best OB in the world for both my sons and can't imagine going through pregnancy without him.

The first time round I would have decked the midwife if I had have had the energy.

The second time round I had the most wonderful midwife, who delivered DS2 on her own (the OB hadn't been able to get there in time - Sydney traffic)

However, both times I had complications with the placenta, so needed a doctor on hand - it was so important to me to have someone that I could trust. (Also, with the speed of my labours I need to go to the nearest hospital, so I don't have a choice!)
