labor?

salena.Msalena.M
in 2nd Trimester

I want to labor in a birthing tub at our hospital but I want to actually give birth on the table but I have read that if you labor in the birthing tub it reduces pain and tearing. 

Has anyone done this ? or is planning on doing it?

    It is the plan if all goes well!  There is alot of research out there- google Water birth and you should find a ton of info!  My actual plan involves giving birth in the water but there are factors that can change that while you are in labor.

    yeah its one of those if all goes well kind of things. I think it just sounds so relaxing to give birth and do the painful part in the water, plus it will be a good way to keep me from asking for an epidural which I DO NOT WANT! I want as natural as possible, but will change if baby is distressed

    I am with you on natural!  We actually live around the block from the hospital so we are going to try for a home birth!  I still see an OB and my two midwives so I feel like if its going to happen then at least I have the support:)  Awesome that you want to go natural!  I have BAD allergies to many narcotics so I would need a C-Section rather than an epi at the hospital we live by- I figure at home (if all goes well!) then I have no choice but to avoid drugs;)

    I just don't believe in baby coming out all drugged up, no offense to those who want the drugs. But I just want to feel everything, and I don't wanna miss anything not one painful push. I figure they should just give my hubby the drugs for the hand I plan on breaking. Lol

    Good for you!!! I think you should just check with your dr or hospital to make sure that is a possibility. I thought about doing it this time but because I hemorrhaged with the labor of my first, they are very careful about my delivery this time. I may not go to term if the baby is getting too big. Let us know how it was and GL

    I'm all for the natural too and am terrified of getting an epidural or c-section.  If I can, I would love to do a water birth but I have a few minor health issues that I'm not sure if it will work out or not.
