The National Health Services (NHS) provides a variety of options for pregnant women. In the United Kingdom (UK), women have a choice between public or private health care services. Within public options, most maternity clinics and hospitals are run by the NHS and provide separate wings of hospitals for delivery. These hospitals provide the family many options for the type of birth that they would like to have, including "water birth, home birth, and hypnobirthing, and keep in control of the level of medical intervention and assistance ... receive[d] when in labour."

In England, the NHS provides "intrapartum care at home, all freestanding midwifery units, all alongside midwifery units (midwife led units on a hospital site with an obstetric unit), and a stratified random sample of obstetric units."
"The results support a policy of offering healthy women with low risk pregnancies a choice of birth setting. Women planning birth in a midwifery unit and multiparous women planning birth at home experience fewer interventions than those planning birth in an obstetric unit with no impact on perinatal outcomes. For [new mothers], planned home births also have fewer interventions but have poorer perinatal outcomes."
