If you are pregnant, planning on getting pregnant? or are close with someone who fall in the above category? Have you thought about where you are going to deliver your baby? Home birth vs. Hospital. Right now we are in the middle of a pandemic and some hospitals, depending on where you live, are not letting significant others, or doulas or grandmothers to be enter the room with mothers who are in labor.
