Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them.
As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery.
After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary "The Business of Being Born").
I want to be able to birth my baby in a quite, uninterrupted environment where I can move around and eat and drink as needed. I want to have the support I need from experienced women to birth my baby (as billions of women have done in the past.) I don't want an episiotomy, drugs, a Heplock nor constant Fetal Monitoring and when my baby is born, I want to be able to hold my baby immediately, skin to skin, perhaps let the baby do the Breast Crawl, not cut the umbilical chord until it has stopped pulsing, and hold my new baby boy for at least an hour before he is taken from me for routine exams.
Considering these are all very normal practices in the rest of the developed and even undeveloped world, this shouldn't be that difficult to get, but because of the crazy medical situation in America, it is!
According to the World Health Organization's recommendations on birth, "There is no evidence that a caesarean section is required after a previous transverse low segment caesarean section birth. Vaginal deliveries after caesarean should normally be encouraged wherever emergency surgical capacity is available." Yet, there is only one doctor's practice in my city that will perform them.
"There is no evidence that routine fetal monitoring during labour has a positive effect on the outcome of pregnancy." Yet there isn't a hospital that will agree not to do routine fetal montioring here!
"The healthy newborn must remain with the mother, wherever both their conditions permit it. No process of observation of the healthy newborn justifies a separation from the mother." Yet as soon as the baby is born, it is routine for babies to be whisked away from their mothers for vaccines, eye drops, cleaning and weighing before the mother gets the baby! It's crazy!
Let me clarify, I am not "ani-doctor" or "anti- hospital." I am thankful for the wise, sensitive doctors and hospitals and appreciate that there is a time and place that they are absolutely essential in the many births, but they are trained to do surgery, to deal with crisis, to intervene. A normal birth does not need intervention. Woman's bodies, with few exceptions are capable of creating and birthing healthy, normal babies. I know mine is.
Now, if I had had the birth that I envisioned with Brooklyn, finding a professional to work with me in having a birth like this would need some research, but would be quite a lot easier than what I am facing. However, because I had a C-section, I now need to find someone that will assist me in doing a Vaginal Birth After Cesarian (VBAC) and this is not an easy task. Because of fear of fear of litigation and high insurance costs, most practitioners will not assist in VBACs and insist that women continue to have C-Sections even though this is proven to be less healthy for the mother and baby.

Shocking Facts about Birth:
The U.S has the 32nd highest rate of infant mortality in the world and ranks 37th for quality of health care.
Over 90% of all babies in America are born with driugs from epidurals and inductions in their systems. ort of intervention.
It is proven that homebirths and births attended by midwives are just as safe, if not safer than hospital births (lower mortality rates and lower interventions that cause harm to baby and mother)
C-section rates are between 25 and 30% while the WHO recommends 10% rate normal.
20% of births are induced, 44% of those are because the doctor wanted to

On another line, it is SO frustrating trying to find medical providors that fit my needs because the information just isn't out there!
As the WHO recommends, "Information about birth practices in hospitals (rates of caesarean section etc.) should be given to the public served by the hospital." That same information should be given about Doctor's practices and statistics, but they are not and when a Mother wants to make an informed decision about which practicioner she wants to use to bring her baby into the world, it becomes a full time job!
Why can't we find a sheet that says things like:
Years in Practice
C-Section Rate
Epesiotomy Rate
Guidelines for pregnancies
Fees and what they include
Required routines during birth
Medical Philosophy
Schools and certifications
Birth Practices and Policies
Hospitals they work at
Etc.

Unless I can get in and interview each doctor (Paying for a visit and having to change my insurance policy with each interview) it is extremely difficut to get all that information!

I am also insulted by how I am made, from the first visit to the doctor's office to feel powerless. 2.5 hours for a 20 minute visit with the doctor, left sitting in the waiting room, then the doctor's office for 45 minutes each and then for 20 minute intervals in between seeing the nurse and doctor or doctor and being able to leave makes me feel infuriated and mistreated.

Each doctor's visit frustrates me. I plan on talking to the doctor before I go to the doctor's office about what I envision for my birth, but don't even get a chance to tell them as they are so busy telling me how it works for them.

Ok, I'll stop there. From now on, I am going to focus on the positive points of birth!
I'd love to hear what you think!
