Why you should choose a waterbirth delivery

Having a baby is the one of the most precious moments for a woman.  The experience of delivering a new life is like no other.  Although it comes with great pain, most women will agree it is worth it. 

As a San Diego midwife I would like to share with you a method that you might not be aware of.It is also known as waterbirth.

Waterbirth has been called probably of all the methods of delivery the gentlest.  It requires the use of a heatedwater bath or a pool.You will find some women will use during the labor the water part.They will do it because heated water is actually a good pain reliever.  It is soothing to the tissues.

Other women also use it to deliver the baby.They remain in the water through the whole delivery.  Even all the way through delivering the placenta.

The entire procedure is usually administered by someone that is referred to as a midwife.  If you are in San Diego there are plenty of midwives San Diego.You will want one that is very experienced. 

Why is there some woman who prefer this method of delivery rather than the hospital procedure? As described earlier, delivery and the labor part is extremely painful.A lot of women nowadays use drugs to lessen the pain.  But for some women, they don’t want drugs for fear of harming the baby.Using this method of waterbirth helps reduce the pain.  Because of the
water heated it is soothing to the tissues and helps reduce the pain.

Most women will go through this procedure naturally.  They will not use any drugs to cope with the pain.  Often times this actually helps the labor happen faster.  Because the use of drugs usually slows down the labor. 

It is actually a very safe alternative of delivery.  For women looking to having their baby naturally this might be the way to go.  I have seen many happy deliveries as a San Diego licensed midwife.  All it takes for a woman is to research and see
how safe it is.
