I would only be delivered at a hospital. Being a nurse myself, if something went wrong during the delivery and I didn't have access to state of the art medical care, I would never forgive myself if I put our little one in jeapardy by not being at the best facility possible.

I've delivered twice in a hospital and I will do it again with this pregnancy. Like kellbell, I like the comfort of knowing that there is medical equipment available should the need arise! I am too much of a worrier to deliver at home!

I am having my babies in a hospital with a level III NICU because we know that they will be here early.

I delivered in the hospital. I had a choice of three hospitals and was scheduled to deliver in a very upscale hospital, but when i went into labor early ob told me to go this other hospital that has better NICU (I DID NOT GET A PRIVATE ROOM HERE ) LOL.

Gina - I had issues with getting a private room, but was lucky enough to get one...... I literally cried when they told me that I was having to share, so they made it work....... there should be a law against a shared room, too many bodily fluids.... ick!!
