C.S.
K., please talk to a midwife before you rule midwifery care out completely. I thought the same for my first pregnancy - that was before Iearned that hospitals are for sick people:)
I see that AZneomom recommended a local ICAN chapter - since I don't see one in Dallas, here is the Austin contact. Reach out to her and get names and suggestions. Most women in the U.S. consider a natural birth to be with an epidural (what most of us would call a vaginal birth) so by contacting ICAN you will at least be speaking the same language.
Good luck and congratulations on your baby! C.
