There are many choices of where your child is born and in some areas of which type of health care provider will attend your birth (doctor, nurse, etc). If you choose a hospital choose well before hand, ask questions.
How good is it? Does it ensure safety and quality? Judge the hospital on its own performance. How many deliveries are done there? Who attends these deliveries? Is there a pediatrician available for emergencies? How often are cesarean deliveries performed?
Or you might want home delivery. In many countries, delivery of children at home is the rule. If you find someone offering to assist with your child’s birth at home, ask about his or her qualifications. Is he or she a midwife, nurse, or doctor trained in obstetrics?
How many deliveries has the person done? Is he or she prepared to deal with an emergency? You should also see if there are any backup facilities available? Does the person have admitting privileges at a hospital?
What do you prefer? And Why?
