Water birth: Is it right for you?
During a water birth, the mother gives birth in water in a special birthing tub and may also spend part of her labor in the tub. Water birth deliveries occur in a caring environment and are supported by an experienced team that is specially trained in water births. Many women experience increased comfort and relaxation; more efficient contractions; and reduced stress-related hormones. For the baby, a water birth may ease the stress of the birth and bring greater reassurance and a sense of security.
Women considering a water birth must meet certain health criteria. If you're interested in a water birth, please talk with your pregnancy care/health care provider before your delivery.
