waterbirth
Sink into a birth pool, feel the warm water caressing your body, supporting your pregnant belly and buoying you up freeing you to ultimate relaxation as you allow your uterus to do the work of labor. Waterbirth has been proven to reduce the pain of labor, make labor shorter, protect the mother’s perineum and provide the gentlest entrance into the world for your newborn. Don't be fooled by imitations or kiddy pools; the depth of the water is the key to triggering the physiological response that makes labor both faster and less painful. Dubbed the "homebirth epidural" deep water immersion allows the laboring woman to surrender to the birth process. Experience the tranquility of waterbirth for you and your baby with a midwife who specializes in waterbirth.
