Planning Where to Give Birth
Where do you picture yourself giving birth? At a hospital, in a birthing center, or at home? The right choice depends on your health, your pregnancy, what's available near you, and what your insurance covers.
Learn your options
Your health care provider can explain what each option involves and which ones make sense for you.
Take a tour
Many hospitals and birthing centers offer tours, in person or online. Seeing the space can help you decide.
Take a childbirth class
Classes are offered by many hospitals and birthing centers, and online. They explain what to expect in labor, birthing positions, and ways to manage pain.
Go in feeling prepared
The more you know ahead of time, the more confident you can feel about the amazing thing your body is about to do.
