Water birth is a safe, natural, and clean way to give birth. Water's natural analgesic properties make your birth more comfortable for you and your baby. To have a water birth at home, you will need to rent or buy a tub.
When you are resting in the water, you are weightless. This eases the birthing process, because your body can relax. The water calms and soothes you as your labor progresses, and it naturally relieves your pain.
Benefits to water birth include:
~Babies are calmer when they exit the womb, because the baby is born from water to water.
~You are calmer, because you are in less pain.
~Giving birth in water is very clean.
~It's easy to set up a birthing tub.
~Water birthing tubs fit into almost any room.
