We'll discuss birthing options for women, including home birth, an out of hospital birth center, and a hospital birth center.

Host Giovanna Rossi interviews Abigail Eaves of Dar A Luz Birth Center, Annette Lindeman of Lovelace Women's Hospital, and two home birth midwives: Nandi Hill and Terry Simmons.
