Hey everyone, I'm a FTM having a home birth with a midwife and strongly leaning towards water birth. The main thing that is concerning my husband about water birth is that my midwife told us she has less visibility during birth, which may result in a higher likelihood that I will tear or will tear worse than if I were in bed. Wondering about others experience with tearing, what helped lessen tearing, and opinions if water birth would really be the best?
