We had both our kids at a birth center in the US (actually both born in the same room three years apart) and it was a great experience. There are certainly cases where you can’t but I really liked not being in an overly medical setting. Also (as a new exhausted Dad) taking that first nap in the same bed your baby was just born in and your wife is beside you wide awake… magic. Then about 6-8 hours later we are back home for when my wife was ready to crash as the hormones wear off.
