I think talking to a midwife is a good idea, they are better at taking the time to explain what is going on and how things work. You should try to make an appointment with one and expain that you are trying to get as much info as possible and discuss your concerns and fears. I'm sure she would be able to address each one. Truthfully the more you understand what is going on with your body during labor and delivery the less scarry it is. And honestly a lot of the things you are afraid of, forceps, vacumes, and episiotomies, aren't practiced as much as they used to be. Most doctors and midwives won't use them unless absoutly necessary.
