In the US the hospital is most common but there is a growing movement for alternative birth methods, birthing centers, at home births, being strapped to a wall and having crystals shot at you until your baby just sort of materializes, etc

    While there are fringe anti-science people pushing for home births, the main cause is lack of health insurance/fear of unexpected bills.

    I know a number of home-birthed people, including myself, and I could not describe a single parent of theirs as being anti-science. Also this graph is from English hospital admissions so cost/bills would never ever enter the equation.
