The birthing of a baby is one of the most cherished moments of a woman’s life.The joys of bringing in a new life into the world is like none other.  Although it comes with great pain, most women will agree it is worth it. 

As a San Diego midwife I would like to share with you a method that you might not be aware of.It is also known as waterbirth.

Waterbirth has been described as one of the gentlest ofmethods of deliveries.  It requires the use of a heatedwater bath or a pool.A few woman will just use the water for the pain of the labor part.This is done because the water that is heated is very pain relieving.It soothes and relaxes the tissues.

Other women will also delivery the baby through it.  They stay in the water all the way through delivery.Even going through it all including delivering the placenta.

The entire procedure is usually administered by someone that is referred to as a midwife.  If you are in San Diego there are plenty of midwives San Diego.You are going to want to have an experienced one. 

Why do quite a few women pick this way of delivering over the hosptial method? As mentioned previously, it is very painful the labor and delivery part.A majority of women will use the drugs to try and stop the pain.But for a few women, the last thing they want to do is have drugs harm the new baby.Using waterbirth for delivery helps ease some of the pain.Because of the
heated water it soothes the tissues and helps with the pain.

Most women will have this procedure usually done naturally.They won’t ask or use any drugs to help lessen the pain of labor and delivery.A lot of times this causes the labor to proceed much faster.Because when you use the drugs it can really slow down the labor. 

It is really a safe alternate way of delivery.For some women who are wanting to have their baby naturally this might be a choice to go with.  I have seen many happy deliveries as a San Diego licensed midwife.  All it takes for a woman is to research and see
how safe it is.
