water birth

[shak_436]

anybody else considered of having water birth?or have any of you had water birth previously or know of anyone who has?i'm seriously thinking about delivering my baby in a water pool cuz i'm so damn scared of labour pain,and i have heard that water birth is much less painful and very calming for mum and baby,also the baby comes out easier apparently..thought i'd see what everyone else's views are on here about water birth..the only thing that puts me of a little is baby sliding straight out into the water though,i'v heard its fine and safe for the baby,but i think seeing that would freak me out a little,thats the only bad point,i havnt heard any other disadvantages about it,just good things...

Aww thats bit crap!where i live we dont have to pay for any services,or treatments etc,its all covered for us in the uk.so i guess thats one good point of living in uk lol..im going to research water birth a little more further and bring it up when discussing my birth plan

I REALLY wanted a water birth but my insurance doesn't cover it and i don't have $3000 to pay for it myself. But if you have the option, I've heard its amazing! I hope to labor in the bath tub at the hospital for as long as possible though to help with pain.
