i watched alot of youtube vids lst pregnancy and the hospital ones are all very negative.. and i recall watching one where one birth was in a hospital and it did a fast forward and there was that many people constantly in/out of the room to her next being in a birth centre and there was maybe 2-3 coming into the room to check on her etc and it looked like a hotel room compared to clinical and blue..

my 2 births have been in public hospitals. One in newcastle (JHH) and one in Melbourne (frankston)
both births i only ever saw midwives.. the JHH sucked as i was monitored as they did not believe i was in labour (i'm not some1 who screams in pain) but come delivery i had 2 midwives letting me go and do what i wanted (squatting etc). All was super quiet and gentle. i learnt while delivering (as i was told) that you only push during a contraction (if u have urges or if u can) i was pushing all the time (eager for it to be over) 10mins and it was all over and good. All positive.

frankston sucked as i went thru this odd interview process almost.. im on the phone in labour to the midwife on the phone and shes asking for my details so i gave it to hubby to do which the midwife wasnt satasfied with but stuff em! yeah got to the hospital whisked off to a room with a midwife and was asked questions on my labour.. thankfully she would wait during a contraction gave me a internal (blessing in disguise) to find out i was 8cm dilated and obviously in labour wanting a room not being asked questions BP checked and all that.. delivery was very quiet i could hear one midwife writing out details of forms and stuff getting ready for bubs arrival. used a birth bean bag. had 2 midwifes and 1 trainee in there come head poking out stage.. all very quickly over to the point it felt like the baby was being pulled out but hubby said she just seemed to shoot out! lol! was allowed to deliver placenta naturally. All positive, no interventions, no stitches, no drugs, no obs or docs for both births..

With my current bub i might try the screaming in pain act just so the midwives believe me!!
