Variables with significant explanatory power in multiple logistic regression using prospective location of childbirth (same/different) as a dependent variable (n: 215).

Explanatory variable	Odds ratio (OR)	Confidence interval (CI) 95%
Own choice of birth attendance/location of childbirth	OR 7.26	CI 2.66–19.84
Presence of birth support person(s)	OR 5.05	CI 1.4–18.24
Birth complications	OR 3.5	CI 1.2–10.22

Other variables (which did not make independent significant predictions) included in the multiple logistic regression analysis were: women's authority during childbirth and distance by walking to the location of childbirth.
