In America do you give birth in private or shared rooms?

Asked by tan235 (877points) November 15th, 2011

I always assumed it was private naturally – however on reading about it it seems you have to ‘ask’ for a private room and pay.
Does that mean that if you don’t you will have to give birth with other woman giving birth in the same room?
Seems a bit ridiculous.
Giving birth should be a personal thing.
In Aus/Nz you are in a private room – however I am in NY… Anyone know?
