Women expect a lot more from their birth experience than they did a generation ago.
They don't want a lot of needles and drugs. Fathers want to catch the baby, cut the cord. Families want children and grandparents around. And parents want a hospital that will support and encourage their wishes. Hospitals face a greater competition for newborn babies because the number of births are on the decline.
