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?)
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
I know a number of home-birthed people, including myself, and I could not describe a single parent of theirs as being anti-science. Also this graph is from English hospital admissions so cost/bills would never ever enter the equation.
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).

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
Amethysts and essential oils. Men know there is only one essential oil… WD40.
This chart is for people in England.
Explains the lack of gunshots compared to stabbings.
Thanks for pointing it out! Lemmy is so US centered I didn’t notice
lol, someone downvoted your candid opinion.
🤷♂️
this chart is for anyone interested in charts, don’t gatekeep charts!
This is NHS England data, so not likely to be affected by whether people in the US usually give birth in a hospital.

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.
