Ex wife insisted on this. It was weird and never looked at the living room the same again.
....she also insisted on "hypnobirthing" which is the idea of hypnotizing yourself into a peaceful and relaxing labor. Might have worked with someone who wasn't a complete psycho, but didn't help her at all.

Sorry, this made me giggle.

They're significantly more comfortable than a hospital room (though I am speaking as someone who vehemently hates hospitals), tend to allow you to flex a lot of autonomy in the way that you want to give birth and have the environment set up, and usually have a medical staff or are located in a hospital.
From my own research, they seem to be all the benefits of a home birth with the security of being in a medical facility. Probably checks off most of the boxes you've listed here.
This is good advice, but calling a birthing center a "medical facility" can be misleading. Many provide only very basic medical care, and if you need anything beyond a nurse's or midwife's purview (IV, oxygen, monitoring vitals) you're probably headed off to the hospital. Apparently 1 out of 6 women that start labor at a birth center deliver at a hospital.
Also, many hospitals, especially new or newly renovated ones, are now beginning to accommodate water births. Of course, you'll pay a lot more at a hospital.
To be fair, I said "being in a medical facility." As in, the ones inside hospitals. I was referring to the aforementioned hospital water birth centers you pointed to.
I absolutely could have made that more clear, though. DI is correct.
