- Advantages and disadvantages of giving birth at Birth Centers
- 11 Lying in Clinic in Pasig City
Here are the following benefits:
Comfortability
In birth centers, you will feel that you’re just in your room. You have lighting, a queen or double bed, a television, a rocking chair, couches for family and friends, a shower, a Jacuzzi tub, and, sometimes, a kitchen.
These things would make you have a warm feeling, that you’re in a safe environment and at the end of the day, everything would be okay – you will go to your house with the healthy newborn baby.
Privacy
You do not have to worry, even in a single bit! You will have your privacy in birth centers because they will give you a private room. Whereas at a hospital, they don’t usually give you a room for yourself. Unless you have insurance that will cover the fee.

Freedom
In birth centers, you could walk around and be as active as you like, and wear whatever dress you want. Also, you do not need to think about the snacks and drink because they will it to you for free meanwhile at the hospitals (no food or drinks during the pushing phase though).
At a hospital, on the other hand, all food and fluids (except for ice chips) are usually a no-go, your movements will probably be limited (since there is usually continuous electronic fetal monitoring), and you’ll likely have to give birth lying on your back on the bed.
Families stay together
With a hospital delivery, your baby will be taken to a different room for his first checkup, and a few times more for other procedures.
At a birth center, however, unless he needs emergency care, your baby won’t be whisked off to another room after the birth (and family and friends won’t be sent away either — unless you want them to be).
Everything — from preventative care like the vitamin K shot to baby’s first bath and checkup — happens in the same room.
A shorter stay
Because fewer medications and medical interventions are involved, recovery time is shorter than at a hospital. Most families leave the center four to eight hours after birth, compared to 24 to 48 hours at a hospital. And a shorter stay can mean that you spend less money.
What are the disadvantages of giving birth at a birth center?

- Lack of centers. The number of birth centers around every country is limited (and services may not be complete) — especially if you live in a small city where you don’t have access to this medical support.
- Possible transfer to a hospital. If in the middle of your laboring there is a problem or emergency, you’ll be transferred to a hospital immediately. Fortunately, fewer than 2 percent of transfers are due to emergencies (they’re mostly due to mom having an extremely difficult labor and/or requests for an epidural.) However, birthing centers do have IVs, oxygen and infant resuscitators on hand for use during the transfer process.
- Your insurance may not cover it. There are some circumstances where your insurance companies don’t cover births at a birth center. You should contact as soon as possible the insurance provider to discuss your coverage.
- They’re not for everyone. Birth centers aren’t equipped for high-risk pregnancies or multiple births because they do not have access to a set of equipment that is needed in that kind of pregnancy.
