I agree with leash. I'd rather have people there supporting me who do this as their sole job - more experience, than a GP who deals with other complaints as well, and may not be as specialised.

FWIW - I'm having two midwives for a VBA2C - no doctors allowed. I don't even have a GP at the moment!

ETA - sorry, I just read your last post. I would still go the midwives.
