Here are the advantages of a water birth:
-
Pain Relief: The warm water can help relax the muscles, reducing pain and making the contractions more manageable.
-
Increased Comfort: The buoyancy of water provides support to the body, allowing the mother to move freely and find more comfortable positions.
-
Gentler Birth Process: The transition from the womb to the outside world is smoother for the baby, as they are born into water, mimicking the amniotic environment.
-
Reduced Stress: The calming effect of water can help reduce stress and anxiety during labour, contributing to a more relaxed birth experience.
-
Less Need for Pain Medication: Due to the natural pain-relief benefits of water, the need for medication or interventions may be reduced.
-
Promotes Relaxation: The warm water encourages relaxation, which can help with dilation and the progression of labour.
-
More Control for the Mother: Being in water can offer the mother more control over her movements and the pace of labour, promoting a sense of empowerment.
-
Privacy and Intimacy: Water births can provide a more private and intimate setting for the mother, which can lead to a more positive and personal birth experience
Water Birth
Testimonial
My birth went the way I always wanted and Tati was essential from the beginning. She is my doula, he won me over since the day he came for a massage. She believed in me and made me believe in my water birth, I knew I had someone there with me who would support me, encourage me and give me strength when I no longer had it. As she always told me, there are several non-pharmacological pain reliefs. Let's try them. There was a lot of money, you have a rebozo ball shower comb machine and I just said Tati, this isn't solving anything else, what can we try now? It took hours and hours, but magic happened and I was already 6 cm dilated and we went to the bathtub. Brenno and I got into the bathtub, it was our dream from the beginning. Breno massaging my back and me using happy gas. About 20 minutes later I felt the urge to pull the midwife, she didn't do anything, she just watched and Dexter was born, beautiful, smart and smiling. That's why I recommend water birth to all mothers, it's 100% natural, hands off, it reduces the chance of medical interventions and I was able to give birth to my son alone and in peace. I was the protagonist of my birth, thank you Tati from the bottom of my heart for helping me have the most incredible experience of my life
