Water birth anyone???

I've looked into water birth and it seems like such an amazing way to deliver and WAY less stress for baby, less tearing and so many other pros but I'm scared because no one from my community that I know of delivered this way. I'm 28 weeks along and nervous, so ladies tell me "Just deliver the normal way with epidural".

I'm 22 weeks and I'm adding this to my birth plan. So many benefits that outweigh any possible cons!

I don't want an epidural at all. And a lot of moms mentioned water births are most relaxing for that!

I would love to have a water birth, but I'm high risk and need to be on an IV to help my blood pressure and also have problems delivering my placenta and blood loss so I'm not aloud one. I would say if you can have one definitely go for it. You can always change your mind when your there and get out and have an epidural if you feel you need one, but there is no harm in trying if that's what you want.

I had a water birth and I'm about to have another, it was the best experience ever and I would recommend it.
It takes the pressure off everywhere and washes away all the blood and things so you can hold your baby and not have to worry.
