Response to James Cross: We had a full plan for birth with options for every eventuality and a goal of having a safe and happy birth (vaginal or caesarian) so our baby was first in our mind, as I'm sure all parent's minds are. We did hours and hours of research to determine the best path and midwifery was it. Short story; we ended up transporting (non-emergency) because our baby, though strong and healthy, was a little sideways and not coming out right. We had a great experience at the hospital and our midwife was there supporting us.
