water birth

Water birth is a gentle, natural birthing option that allows you to labour and sometimes deliver in warm water, helping to ease pain, promote relaxation, and reduce the need for medical intervention. The soothing effect of water can lower stress hormones, support smoother contractions, and offer a sense of calm and control during labour. For many mothers, water birth creates a more comfortable and empowering experience, with the buoyancy helping ease pressure on joints and making it easier to change positions. Babies born in water often arrive in a calm, quiet environment, which can make the transition from womb to world feel more gentle. When guided by trained professionals and done in a safe, hygienic setting, water birth is a safe and effective option for many low-risk pregnancies.
