Choosing the type of birth place.

How do types of places of birth differ from one another? In making your decision, keep in mind that places of birth can vary in important ways:
philosophy of birth
style of practice within the place of birth - this includes the amount of time caregivers spend with you, the amount of information you receive, your involvement in decision-making, and patterns of using interventions
caregivers - a limited number of caregivers practice in any one place of birth
whether specific places of birth are an option in your area - an out-of-hospital birth center or caregivers offering home birth services may not be available in some areas
whether your insurance will cover the services of a particular setting.
