For thousands of years women have been using water to ease labour and facilitate birth. Using the bath or a birthing pool of warm water to ease labour, sounds inviting to most women.
Most people feel relaxed and find great comfort in water.
Perhaps because we begin our lives in the womb surrounded by liquid, this basic familiarity stays with us. If the water is where a woman wants to be and there are no complications then in the water is where she will feel the most comfortable. Waterbirth is what a lot of women choose when birthing at home. Most of them are planned and some just happen since women find great ease and comfort in the bath. A birthing pool is available to all my clients and is free of charge through my services.
