I worked at ER. No, you don't want to have a baby in ER. ER doctors are dealing with emergency situations and patients (auto accident,cardiac arrests,gunshot wounds,etc). I've seen one baby being delivered in ER, and it wasn't a good experience for the patient. Rather, you'd want proper pre-natal care and comfortable delivery room, with your own doctor. Also, ER treatments are more expensive. Way more expensive.
