    And at the opposite end of the spectrum, how many elements for pregnancy there are as well! (And no specific Delivery, but Outcome of Delivery. Do people in US not usually give birth in a hospital?)

    Edit: Not US but England

      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.

        That’s creative. I’d love being bombarded with raw amethysts while I’m breaking waters

      Dunno about people in the US, but this chat says the information is from England. I’m guessing delivery is included in one of the other categories (probably outcome of delivery).

      Birth centers are incredibly common now. And home births are preferred among certain people, like anti-vaxers and sovereign citizens

        It’s mostly people with inadequate medical coverage who can’t afford insane surprise bills.

      This is NHS England data, so not likely to be affected by whether people in the US usually give birth in a hospital.
