How to find a hospital with birthing tubs?

Question

I know this might sound so silly and common sense to you but for me I’m new at this! It’s my second and last baby. I was scared into induction with my first which went south pretty fast…I’ve always wanted a natural labor and birth and especially to have the tub be part of the process. Do I call every L&D of hospitals near me and ask?

Answer

Just call and ask the hospitals in your vicinity with maternity wards. You also have the option of a birthing center instead of a hospital, and they always have tubs. I also know women who did home births in tubs.

Answer

I think you should probably ask your ob/midwife where what￼ hospital they work at and go from there. 
I believe if you already have established a ob/midwife you would go to the hospital they attend.

Answer

You should start with your OB/Midwife first to see if it's even an option, and two to make sure where they deliver has one. I personally wouldn't leave my care team, just to birth at a hospital that does have a tub.

Answer

That would be the only way I would know to do it. And if you find one who does offer a birthing tub you'll likely have to see what ob's/midwives deliver out of that particular hospital

Answer

More importantly, make sure you stay im network with your health insurance.
