In Italy in the late 1800's, would a woman be more likely to give birth at home, or in a hospital?

Question

And would she have a doctor or something like a midwife?

Answer 1

she would have most likely given birth at home, seeing that most of them didn't have the money to pay to go to the hospital and going there in a carriage by horse would of taken a long time.

A midwife would  have come straight over and have costed less, while having more experience delivering babies than regular doctors at the time.

Answer 2

home

Answer 3

Mostly at home, especially during this time when the hospitals were a place of infection.  Hospital births didn't become popular until early 20th century, I would think.  Only wealthier families would have the money for a regulary physician.  A midwife would be sent for, and in some cases a male doctor.  I also think it was considered not modest to give birth in a hospital.

Answer 4

At home, probably assisted by a woman that was knowledgeable in midwifery.
