I chose to go to a midwife facility with no doctor present. They only accepted me if I met the criteria of being low-risk, and emergency transfer to nearby hospital would be arranged if necessary. It was a very positive experience -- much more personal and more open-minded than the US. I labored in bath water, using aroamatherapy oils (which are also used at the local hospital). I did not have a water birth and gave bith in a bed. The after care was excellent. I stayed in the facility for 1 week. I was visited by a midwife in my home every other day, until they felt completely confident that all was well with me, my baby and my family.

I got the midwife on call, and also accepted the assistance of a midwife in training. I chose the facility based on personal recomendations. My general doctor was pre-assigned to me. She was very nice. I saw her maybe 2 or 3 during my pregnancy. She came to my house to check on me and the baby after I went home.
No.
I would suggest that she also seek out a midwife facility. I would congratulate her on the opportunity to have a baby in the UK.
