  You do NOT have to find a midwife to have a good birth experience.  The
midwife experience described here sounded exactly the same as our experience
with a family physician.  It's important to find a physician who really cares
about his/her patients, is willing to take time with them, and is flexible
about birthing options.
  I admit that in some locales (especially Out East where the profession
is controlled by Academic Medicine and crippled by astronomic malpractice
insurance) it may be harder to find a nice physician.
