Water Births

When I Was At Work Yesterday A Midwife That Was Traveling Through Was Telling Me How She Was On Her Way To Assist A Lady That Was Having A Water Birth , She Was Telling Me How It Was Really Safe For The Mommy & Baby .. I Then Watched A Movie On Netflix Called The Business Of Being Born & The Movie Was Telling Me The Same Thing The Midwife Nurse Was Telling Me .. I'm Really Considering Having A Water Birth , Are Any Other Mommies Considering This ? Im 18 Weeks Due September 5th Ima First Time Mom

I'm 32 weeks and 4 days and have decided to do a home water birth before I was even expecting. I want to go as natural as possible and have seen how calm babies are after birthing in water and how much well it worked for the mothers as well, so we've decided to do that! I think it'd a great idea but do what's best for you and research it and make an educated decision. :)  hope this helps! Good luck

Had my first without water naturally, but I wanted a water birth. I was just too chicken to spend money on the tub if I might end up with an epidural. This time, definitely water birth! Epidural yay isn't an option for me anymore I know too much now to risk it.
