Water birth in Nashville?

I'm not PG, or even TTC. Just curious about water births. I live about 40 minutes from Nashville, so that's the area I would focus on finding a place where this is possible. Anyone have any recommendations or resources?

 

Thanks!

    I think this is only available through Vandy.

    vandy (midwives) allows you to labor in the tub no deliver, but they only have 1 and it's first come, first serve.  which way 40 min are you? haveyou looked into The Farm? they might have water birth or of course there is home birth...

    Infinity Birthing Center in Cookeville, TN has the option for water births.  They are a relatively new facility - only open about 4 months.  They had an open house recently and DH and I went - it's beautiful!!

    From my understanding, most practitioners only allow women to labor in water, but there is a place in Franklin that offers water birth: https://www.tender-beginnings.com/waterbirth.html
