Benefits of Water Birth
Birthing Pools can provide all labouring women with:
the burning sensation often associated with crowning is eased.
the swimming pool effect where by when your body is submerged under the water you do not feel like anyone can see you helping you to relax and your body to work at it's best.
Women who have a water birth very rarely require stiches or an epsiotomy.
If used correctly and to their full, birthing pools can positively effect your labour.
- and a peaceful birth for your baby
Babies who are born into the water do not start breathing until lifted to the surface by the mother. It's a fantastic experience and a very peaceful beginning to any newborns life.
Members include mums and birth partners who have experienced water birth for themselves, parents to be who are considering a water birth, midwives and doulas.
