Experiences please!!!

Okay so this time around I have read things about water births, not tearing as bad with second baby etc. my thing is I can't imagine dunking my baby in water and coming out purple and honestly I don't want to lay on after birth and how in the world do you get up from bleeding so much into the bed?! Last time I bleed a lot and they stuck me with a needle and tried to stop it. Well I'm anxious this time cause I'm terrified of labor because honestly I was so in love and hurting so bad I forgot the initial feelings of the pain and the way it felt. So some insight please!!! I'm 6 weeks Saturday!
