Thoughts on going through a birthing center and paying cash for the services or getting health insurance and?

going through a traditional hospital?
--------------------
Most insurance policies will cover a birthing center with midwives (though not all will cover a homebirth). Costs are significantly less with a birthing center, unless of course you have to be transferred. If you don't have insurance or don't have maternity benefits with your coverage, many midwives will work out a payment plan with you.
