We got to do this, in the United States, when each of our kids were born, living in a village in desert Southwest. We were very fortunate. And as the area had been designated as economically distressed, there were other support policies in place, not optional, and covered by either private insurance (via my employer), or public grants (from state or federal government programs) -- 48 hours stay in hospital, a quiet, private room. It was a slow day for the hospital. And a social worker would come visit our house a few times, a few weeks later. Posting these personal anecdotes because it might be of interest to know how different things can be, out in remote locations of the US, different cultures and history.
