Choosing a Water Birth
Women who choose water birth are very successful in giving birth naturally. This is because giving birth in water empowers women and gives them a sense of connection with their baby through a more gently and natural birthing process.
How Long Does They Saby Stay in the Water?
The baby is born in the water and stays in there for a very short period of time. The midwife will assist you and bring the baby out of the water as soon as the baby is born. This will take less than ten seconds. When the baby is born, the placenta supports the baby by delivering oxygen while the baby is born in water as he is still attached to his mother. I personally think that the baby should not be staying in the water for too long because there is no guarantee that the umbilical cord will continue to pulsate and continue to deliver oxygen for too long. Also, the placenta is often delivered quickly right after the birth.
When to Get Into The Water
Many women use a labor pool and you can get into it whenever you feel the need to. Many practitioners recommend getting in the water when you are in active labor, but getting into warm water when labor start is also a good idea because if it is real labor the contractions will get stronger. If instead it is false labor, they will subside. Using water to test if you are in labor is the best way! Warm water also helps speed up the cervix dilatation process. Usually within one hour of getting into a warm bath, you will know if the contractions are well established. Water birth or the use of a water bath can definitely speed up early labor.

Even if I personally do not recommend having an unassisted birth (this is a personal choice), I choose this wonderful childbirth delivery video because it clearly shows how the birthing mom is in charge of her beautiful birth. The fact that it is unassisted shows that women have the power to give birth and that this is a very natural process that not necessarily needs outside intervention.
