Water Birth 

Picture
Water birth is said to be the easiest transition for your baby when entering the world. The temperature and texture of the water emulate the environment of the womb, making the birthing experience as natural as possible for you baby.
Water birth is beneficial for the mother and the baby.  The pool gives the mother a protected and private space to gently birth her baby.  Hydrotherapy can provide significant pain relief decreasing the need for drugs and interventions.  The water’s natural buoyancy promotes freedom of movement and relaxation allowing the perineal muscles to become more flexible and less likely to tear. Water can be soothing to the mother decreasing tension and anxiety, which can speed up and shorten the length of labor.
