hospital births
Medically supervised deliveries
Hospital births are childbirths that take place in a hospital rather than at home, in a birthing center, or elsewhere.
The term typically appears in discussions comparing different birth settings: Hospital births have become the norm in developed countries.
The phrase often surfaces in debates about medicalized versus natural childbirth approaches.
