Which Birth Provider is Right for You?
When women get pregnant they are faced with many big decisions including which type of provider to use for their prenatal care and delivery of their baby. Part of this decision is based on where women would choose to have their babies, hospital, birth center or home. Also playing into the decision is whether or not the woman would like to have the option of pain medication in labor. In the United States there are a number of different providers all with different educational backgrounds and philosophical approaches to pregnancy and childbirth.
