hospital birth

If uninsured, hospital births can be very expensive.
Hospital personnel are routinely in your room, in order to check your vitals and progress. Some people find this intrusive on their privacy.
Hospital admissions have a higher rate of C-section operations, and some believe these procedures are performed too hastily, perhaps in order to keep hospital schedules on point.
Some hospitals limit the amount of time they allow a patient to stay in the natural process of labor before they decide to intervene, usually with labor-inducing drugs, such as Pitocin, or suggesting a C-section.
cons
Insurance companies will cover some or all of your hospital birth, depending on the type of insurance coverage you have.
Constant monitoring of you and your baby will insure that the delivery is moving along as it should.
If a problem arises, medical personnel are immediately available.
Based on your opinion, you can usually arrange for labor & delivery assistance from a nurse-midwife or a doula, in addition to a medical doctor, if desired.
Hospitals have a full staff of trained personnel to take care of you and your newborn baby, before, during, and after the delivery has occurred.
