Waterbirth - The Gentle Option
from: Kathleen FrassrandIn today's society which is very heavily dependent on medical help and intervention, it's no wonder many soon to be mothers are afraid to look at alternative birthing options, such as waterbirth. Additionally, people tend to look at you strange if you have an opinion that varies too far from the norm, particularly when talking about alternative health care. Unfortunately, moms-to-be are overlooking what may be one of their most helpful and nurturing supporters when they don't pursue the waterbirth option.
Waterbirth is typically practiced by an experienced midwife, who, over time, gets plenty of practical, hands on birthing experience with many women. Midwives have the skills to make you feel comfortable and to help you with some minor medical situations. And if they aren't comfortable helping you, they usually are very quick to refer you to a local hospital or doctor. In some complex situations, like giving birth to twins, midwives don't do the delivery without a doctor.
Throughout the whole birthing process, waterbirth is very gentle on the mother's body, as well as the baby's. The warm water tends to help moms calm down and relax. And water supports the mom's weight and provides a lack of gravity which helps mom feel more at ease. The large tub and freedom of movement helps the mother change positions quickly to allow faster descent of the baby. In many instances, waterbirth can lower the need for drugs both for pain control and for labor stimulation.
Babies who have just spent the last nine months in water, can be perfectly at ease in their new out of body environment. It is recommended that once the baby is born, you bring it to the surface quickly. Many babies don't actually begin to breathe until they feel their bodies in an air environment.
Typically, you will have check-ups throughout your pregnancy. Sometimes the midwife will come to your home making it very convenient for you. You can also get the midwife's contact information, so they can be reached quickly, especially in emergency situations.
If you are opposed to waterbirth, then so be it. Otherwise, if you've ever felt a lack of care, attention, or time from your medical or hospital support, then you really should consider the waterbirth option. It is a very safe and nurturing option. Many times the empowerment and strength you feel from a natural, safe waterbirth will greatly enhance your birthing experience. You may never want to try birthing any other way!
