Thinking about having an all natural water birth.. Any advice?? FTM

Julienne

So I'm currently 27 turning 28 in a month and 6mos along with my first and probably only child so I would like to have the best experience possible.. With some of the horror stories I've read about and heard abkut hospitals I've deciding to start looking into an all natural water birth.. I'm not due until January but I'd just like to get some advice or hear anyones experience with this..

I'm also super nervous to tell my family because they are so judgmental and bossy that they won't understand why I'm doing it this way and try to sway me away.. I wanna hit them with some good reasoning although I understand this is completly my and my partners choice.. So please feel free to comment
