I've had one and have to agree with the pp's, an amazing experence.... and yes the only thing you can have with a waterbirth is gas, if you have an epidural your more likely to need intervention as well

I read somewhere that you can't get epidural with waterbirths, is that true?? I am terrified of the pain so that is really the only thing making me decide against it!

Amazing! Read my birth story in on my profile if you like. I had the most calm, natural water birth, and it really was the most amazing experience of my life. No tears either, bonus!
