Why you should choose a waterbirth delivery

August 25th, 2009

Having a baby is the one of the most precious moments for a woman.  The experience of delivering a new life is like no other.Although it has an enormous amount of pain, most women agree that it is well worth it. 

As a San Diego midwife I would like to share with you a method that you might not be aware of.  It is called waterbirth.

Waterbirth has been called probably of all the methods of delivery the gentlest.  It requires the use of a heatedwater bath or a pool.A few woman will just use the water for the pain of the labor part.They will do it because heated water is actually a good pain reliever.  It is soothing to the tissues.

Other women also use it to deliver the baby.They don’t leave the water till the delivery is all the way through.  Even all the way through delivering the placenta.

The entire procedure is usually administered by someone that is referred to as a midwife.  If you are in San Diego there are plenty of midwives San Diego.  You will want to find an experienced one. 

Why is there some woman who prefer this method of delivery rather than the hospital procedure? As mentioned previously, it is very painful the labor and delivery part.  Most women use drugs to cope with the pain.But for a few women, the last thing they want to do is have drugs harm the new baby.Using waterbirth for delivery helps ease some of the pain.  Because of the
heated water it soothes the tissues and helps with the pain.

Most women will go through this procedure naturally.  They will not use any drugs to cope with the pain.Often what this does is cause the labor and delivery to happen a lot faster.  Because the use of drugs usually slows down the labor. 

It is actually a very safe alternative of delivery.For some women who are wanting to have their baby naturally this might be a choice to go with.  I have seen many happy deliveries as a San Diego licensed midwife.All it will require of a woman is to do a little research and see for themselves
how safe it is.
