if you get a midwife instead of an ob/gyn she MAY do a home waterbirth. but you would have to ask and look around for a good midwife. (and i'm not sure if insurance covers midwives...you would have to contact them to ask)

yeah i'm having a really hard time finding a place that does it =(

ok waterbirth is a natural pain reliefer and also it is the best transition for a baby to go from water to water. NOTE: some hospitals don't allowe for waterbirth.

lol that's why it's so great we don't have to see what's happening when we do give birth. even with a c section they put up a barrier so you can't see anything.

yeah thats what i thought, quite a few of the natural birth videos nearly put me off having a baby at all, especially when they showed an episiotomy being carried out.

i've watched a lot of them they seem way better than on the hospital table

hi there!

i'm 17weeks pregnant, and thinking about having a water birth aswell.
i don't have any info on them but i've heard that it's meant to be more relaxing for you during the birth as the warm water relaxes your muscles and also there is less of a risk of you tearing in the water. if you go onto Youtube.com and type in waterbirths you'll be able to see other people's experiences of them, i've found it really helpful. hope you do too.

let me know if its been any use. xx
