I've found some similarities and differences between having babies in the US vs. UK
UK
gas and air, pethidine and epidural used as a pain reliever
Dads are not allowed to stay at hospital with more
women are allowed to leave the hospital after six hours of having the baby if it's a normal delivery
Majority of the births are preformed by midwives
C-sections are only preformed in the case of emergency
There isn't a nursery in the hospital the children stay with their parent
US
Hospital stays are usually 2-3 days
Husbands are able to stay overnight
C-Sections can be preferred
Child gains Citizenship at birth
Care in hospitals can be superb
