A birth center is a middle ground between home birth and hospital birth, offering a more home-like environment with medical professionals nearby to assist with the delivery.
Many people choose birth centers to enjoy a more natural, low-intervention birth while still having access to medical care if necessary. Birth centers often allow for greater flexibility in birth positions and laboring techniques.
Your birth plan for a birth center should include preferences for pain management, labor positions, and any medical interventions you’re open to. It’s essential to discuss the facility’s policies on transferring to a hospital in case of complications.
