Birthing Center vs Hospital

Anyone else choosing a birthing center (all natural) over a hospital? I'm a first time mom and I figure even though I don't have pain medicine, I'll survive. I get such good care there!

I'm lucky bc there's a birth center in my hospital. I've gone with all if my pregnancies abd looking forward to this one as well. Birth centers are so relaxing and the staff is more understanding of your needs.

Hey my 37 +3 days this will be my first baby. I too have opted for birth centre within the hospital. Its a good idea to attend tour of the centre and q&a sessions put your mind ease!

You're so lucky!!  Where I live, there's pretty much no other option but to go to a regular hospital. I wanted a water birth sooo badly!  I've heard it's so soothing and special. Good luck and I hope your births go smoothly :)

Hey missy, congratulations on your new bundle ! =^). There's actually a birthing center within the hospital that I'm going to. I've opted to go the natural route as well and look forward to the water birth experience. It's exciting. This is baby number one for me...when are you due and do you know the gender of your little one?
