Alternative birthing centre
A facility offering a "non-traditional" ("not like a hospital") setting for giving birth. While alternative birthing centres can range from free-standing centres to special areas within hospitals, birthing centres are generally known for a more comfortable, home-like atmosphere, allow more participation by the father and have more procedural flexibility than commonly found in hospital births.
