Why a waterbirth?

Why choose a waterbirth? What are the benefits of baby's transition from water to water? What are the benefits for mom?

• Promotes deeper relaxation and minimizes pain and discomforts of labor. When a woman is relaxed her hormones kick in and she starts progressing faster and with more rhythm, which in turn makes the labor more efficient
• Warm water relaxes the muscles, which will relax the pelvic floor muscles
• The relaxation and pain relief felt when submerged in the warm water can be more effective and definitely more safer than an epidural
• Reduces the chance of an episiotomy, as the water softens the tissues surrounding the perineum, making them more pliable and able to stretch
• Reduces blood pressure
• Gentle welcome for baby
