Water birth

Even though it's not very common, water birth is nevertheless a calmer and more gentle alternative to giving birth.

  • Being in the water will make your body feel relaxed and light.
  • Water at 37°C will reduce the intensity of contractions.
  • It is important to know that if you opt for a water birth, you will not be able to ask for an epidural.
  • If you stay in the water until your baby comes out, there is no risk of drowning for them because they develop in the amniotic fluid during the whole pregnancy.

Deciding from a regular hospital birth and a water birth.. who’s had both and can describe the difference? #waterbirth

Haven’t had both, but I chose a birth center paid for with insurance 🙌🏼 I did attempt to do a water birth with my first, but I got in to soon and the warmth slowed my labor, so ultimately I wound up giving birth outside the tub. BUT I’m going to the same birth center and I’m determined to be in the water this time!. I liked it because you’re able to maneuver easily and the water takes away a lot of the weight and pressure. Plus it’s just comfortable and peaceful! My sister did a water birth, It went smoothly for her :) My mom as well so I’m a bit more favorable to water birth. I love the idea and atmosphere of having it 💗 I will warn if you’re in a hard tub, bring some kind of padding for your knees even a soft plush towel will work!! Trust me, it gets very uncomfortable if your trying to be in that position.. my knees were red and painful after! Unless you’re in the blow up tub you’re good to go :)

I’m a first time mom doing water birth at home! I’m so excited but very nervous. I don’t see my OB anymore and I’m 29w4d. My midwife is the sweetest person I’ve ever met. Any other moms doing water birth or have done water birth and can offer some advice to make it easier?!

I'm going to be giving birth at a small birth center, they have 3 rooms and each one has a tub! So I look forward to that, you never know though, a different position might be more comfortable when the baby is coming out, but the water helps relax your muscles and soften your skin and I've heard helps prevent tearing😊

Any moms personally did a water birth? My first was all natural in a hospital, but I definitely been researching about an at home water birth and I’m wanting to do one with my current.
