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.

Choosing a place of birth.
Why is choosing a place of birth one of the most important maternity decisions I will make?
Early in your pregnancy, when you are deciding about your maternity caregiver, it is also important to make a thoughtful decision about where you plan to give birth, or your place of birth. These major decisions can influence:
the care that you receive and the effects of that care
the quality of your relationship with your main and other caregivers
the amount of information you receive
the choices and options you will have, particularly during your labor and birth
the degree to which you are involved with decisions about your care.If you are a well and healthy childbearing woman (as are most pregnant women in the U.S.), you can consider giving birth in a hospital, an out-of-hospital birth center, or in your home. Our section titled Your Options for Choosing a Place of Birth will help you learn about these three choices, and learn about differences that you may find from hospital to hospital or birth center to birth center. This and other pages in this section can help you find the birth setting that is right for you. It may take some time and energy to find the right place of birth and caregiver. These important decisions are well worth the effort.
