The best choice for a birth setting is the hospital. Mothers would choose to be comfortable and safe during prenatal, labor and post-partum which are the times when they mostly needed care and assistance. There are some cases wherein some expectant are giving birth on different places because of early water breaks. To prevent unexpected circumstances from happening like this, it is advisable for pregnant women to confine themselves in the hospital a month earlier. No one knows the exact date or when the baby will come out so it's better to be sure that put both of your lives at risk.
