Birth Centre/Hospital birth has some positives over home birth.

You get to stay in bed and just adore your baby and not have to see visitors all the time (set hours and midwives to send away!), you don't have to prepare meals or clean up or organise things, you can just rest.

And yes, some women can at home. Husbands step up. Older children don't drag you out of bed when you want to rest (Liebling already pulls my covers off at 6am and is strong enough to literaly pull me out of bed). The grandmothers and friends and various relatives drop by with dinner, do some washing for you and go. I don't have that. So if I get pg again where I am, I will have a birth centre over a homebirth. OK so nearer my Mum and in a big house so we have a spare room then I'll have a homebirth. But not here. I don't have the support I need to just relax and enjoy the baby.

And I have been to the hospital just for lunch. I still have friends who work there. I like having lunch with them. I had lunch in hospital yesterday with DH and we are the picture of health.
