Water birth?!?

Question

I’m generally considering doing a water birth for this baby. With my son I was induced and the only time I felt comfortable was in the shower for about 20 minutes just having warm water sprayed on my back by my husband. 
Any mommas who’ve done water births...what was your experience? 
Googling water births is making me hesitant but I know I feel so much more relaxed in water.

Answer

I haven’t but I’m opting to do it this time around.  My hospital has several rooms with tubs.  They won’t allow to birth in the tub unless you have a specialty midwife practice that is approved to birth in them. I talked with my doc and she is okay for me to labor in the tub but birth on the bed as normally would. I’m just hoping there will be one available because I recently went on our hospital tour and it was a full house and only one labor/delivery room was available (no tub) but no postpartum rooms. I’ve heard really great feedback so that’s why I’m trying for it this time. :)

Answer

My water birth was ah-mazing. The warm water helped so much with the contraction pain and relaxed me to the point I was falling asleep between them 😅 My baby girl was BIG (over 9lbs), and came out with her hand by her head and I only had minor labial tears and I’m pretty sure the water had something to do with it. She was also nice and clean afterward 😊

I'm going too at a birthing center and am really excited about it.

Answer

I’m hoping to have one this time around if I’m lucky enough to get a room with a tub, my hospital had a massive upgrade in the birthing units and the maternity ward, and it’s all so beautiful 😍, the tubs are huge, and from what I heard a prosterior placenta is a big indicator for back labour 😩, so the water will definitely help in my case 😊
