You just need to know who and how to ask. Discussing preferences ahead of time at a prenatal appt and writing them down for the birth day can help a lot.
If your medical team is nervous about it, ask if once the shoulders deliver, could you take over catching your baby or do it together with them.
A lot of doctors automatically break down the bed when baby is on its way out, so there isn't a place for baby to land. This is definitely something to discuss as well!
