I would like to know if it matters to give Birth in water or the regular way? A lot of people are telling me that its the same thing and I want to give Birth in water but now I don't know. I have 2 kids and I know how it is to give Natural Birth but I was just wondering how it feels to give Birth in Water. Please help!
I had an unplanned at home water birth a week ago and it was WONDERFUL! I had two previous hospital bed births and the water was SO much better! I have always hated being on my back for delivery so the squatting in the tub was awesome- not to mention that the water took most of the pain away! Two gentle pushes and baby was out of me and into a natural environment of warm water. If you CAN do a water birth I HIGHLY recommend it!
Re: Birth in Water!
I had a water birth, but I have no comparison to wat a land birth would be like.
To me it helped the most with being comfortable and able to move around easily while I was in labor.
Also I birthed him squatting, and the water helped support me. I wouldn't have been able to squat for that long on land, I don't think.
