It took me a while before my vibrato just came into play naturally. I was just thinking... What kind of vibrato do you use? By the way, I'm an oboist. I'm not sure if you understand the question, but I just want to see your opinions about vibrato. My friend can't do vibrato and I can totally notice that she literally forces herself to do vibrato because her upper body area is shaking.

As I know, I usually diaphram vibrato; it has a more beautiful sound. But there is even mouth vibrato that is simpler to do but I don't like it very much

the basic, best and most efficient vibrato is what davide refered to as diaphagm vibrato.
try this.
lower your pitch on any note by relaxing your diaphragm, then bring it up again, slowly. do this in a rhytmic pattern, until it doesn't actually effect the intonation.

That brings me to a question: When y'all breath...do you breath bringing your stomach out and holding it out as you play or does your chest raise and your stomach go in? Thanks a bunch.

From the stomach, definately. I find breathing from the chest doesn't give me the... oomph I need. Then again, I'm a flutist. Might be different for the oboe. And I also play with a decrepit old flute that takes twice the effort to actually play.
