The best is a natural birth at the hospital.

I have several kids. My wife gave pretty natural births (no c-sections, no special procedures), but at the hospital. People do not realize that if everything goes well, the hospital staff does not get involved that much.

But in case something goes wrong, you have all the tech, staff on call, etc. to save you and the life of your child.

During the second birth, our baby got stuck a bit and the midwife had position my wife in a way to allow the baby to get out. I can’t imagine dealing with this at home alone.

Sure you can have a midwife at home, but why risk it?
