Whether your delivery takes place at home or in a hospital, water birth offers the gentlest, most rewarding birth process possible. But how do you know it's safe?

The Research Findings

Water birth research has been done in Russia, France, the U.S. and England. A five year British study on 5,953 expectant low-risk mothers provides clear evidence that water birth is not only safe, but it may even be even safer than conventional methods.

5,953 women were each allowed to choose between a bedbirth (2,362), a birthing stool birth (1,108) and waterbirth (2,014). The differences were highly significant.

An episiotomy was necessary in 35.4% of the bedbirths, in 27.7% using birthing-stools and in only 12.8% of waterbirths. In spite of the higher episiotomy rates, bedbirths also showed the highest 3^rd and 4^th degree severe laceration rates.

Concerns and Conclusions

No case of water aspiration, waterborne infection or any other complication of the mother or child, which might be water-related, was reported.

Conclusion: If the same criteria are used in monitoring and management, waterbirths do not demonstrate any higher birth risks for the mother or the child than bedbirths.

In fact, the research found fewer painkillers are used in waterbirths, the mothers' blood loss is lowest, the experience of birth itself is much more satisfying and the baby's Apgar scores are significantly higher after waterbirth.

Benefits of Hydrotherapy

Maybe you're thinking it seems too unconventional and cutting edge. But just think about how comforting and relaxing a warm bath feels. It really sooths you, doesn't it?

That’s why immersing your body in a warm pool, which is called hydrotherapy, has been used for many centuries as a relief for almost any kind of pain.

And it's especially helpful in waterbirth. Hydrotherapy loosens tight muscles for easier contractions and delivery. The buoyancy cradles your body allowing freedom to move around easily and get into more comfortable positions.

Because hydrotherapy can help you to feel more comfortable and less stressed, more and more women are realizing it's a great way for them to labor and give birth.

Good Health is Necessary for Good Results

Nowadays, many hospitals provide birthing tubs. Since hydrotherapy can be both physically and mentally soothing, it's helping women to have healthier, more natural childbirth experiences. But good health is essential.
