Having a baby is the one of the most precious moments for a woman.The happiness of being able to deliver a new life is like nothing else.Even though it has a lot of pain associated with it, the majority of women will believe 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 called waterbirth.

Waterbirth of all the methods of delivery has been described as one of the gentlest of methods.  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.They will do it because heated water is actually a good pain reliever.It is relaxing to the tissues.

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

The whole procedure is usually overseen by a person called 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 some women choose this procedure over the hospital? As described earlier, delivery and the labor part is extremely painful.A majority of women will use the drugs to try and stop the pain.  But for some women, they don’t want drugs for fear of harming the baby.  Using a waterbirth method helps with the pain.  Because of the
water heated it is soothing to the tissues and helps reduce the pain.

Most women will have this procedure usually done naturally.  They will not use any drugs to cope with the pain.A lot of times this causes the labor to proceed much faster.  Because the use of drugs usually slows down the labor. 

It is really a safe alternate way of delivery.For a few women who might want to have a natural birth this could be the method to go with.  I have seen many happy deliveries as a San Diego licensed midwife.All it is going to take is for the woman to go and research a bit and see it for themselves
how safe it really is.
