Deciding Where to Give Birth | The Humbled Homemaker

Commentary

Choosing the most appropriate place for you to give birth depends on your individual life circumstances, and each place comes with its own unique benefits. A birth center is one of the more common choices in America, and they can either be located within a hospital, or independent facilities. Since some birthing centers do not accept insurance, it is important to see how much their fees are beforehand. For those who are looking for a much more intimate setting, home births are often a viable option.

Key Takeaways:

  • Birth centers combine features of homes and hospitals, but their costs may not be covered by insurance.
  • Natural childbirth advocates champion giving birth at home, which allows the mother to be in a familiar space.
  • Epidurals are part of the reason why nearly US mothers choose to give birth in a hospital.

“One big thing to consider when looking into a birth center is if you are comfortable with the people that are working there.”
