I again, I have one more bit of advice to others: hire a doula or midwife - someone who is not employed by the hospital you are in. Preferably someone who has a nursing degree of some sort so that the hospital staff will respect her credentials and "right" to be there with you.
I know this buit of advice is not available to most of us who cannot afford this, but based on my experience, that's the only thing that prevented me from a cesearean.
