Waterbirth
* Some Photos May Be Explicit
If only everyone realized the calming, pain reducing effect water has on the body. I’ll never forget the first time I entered a birth pool…it was my 6th baby and I labored out of it all day (afraid I would get in too soon and slow labor down). When my midwife offered to check me I was already 9 centimeters and I got right in. It was an “ahh moment”. My only regret was that I didn’t do it sooner. Of course I wish I had done that with every baby too. There have been numerous studies done to prove the biology and chemistry behind the calming effects of warm water on the laboring mother and baby. It’s even better if there’s room for dad and they can do the “love dance of birth”. Imagine how you feel after a horrible day physically and mentally. Now imagine entering a warm bath or a jacuzzi. Nice, right? Dad pack your bathing suit!!
