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.  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 called waterbirth.

Waterbirth has been described as one of the gentlest ofmethods of deliveries.  It requires the use of a heatedwater bath or a pool.  Some women use the water just for the labor part.  They do this because the heated water is pain relieving.It is relaxing to the tissues.

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

The whole process is usuallly performed and helped by someone called a midwife.  If you are in San Diego there are plenty of midwives San Diego.You will want one that is very experienced. 

Why is there some woman who prefer this method of delivery rather than the hospital procedure? 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 quite a few women they do not want to introduce drugs into their body in fear of harming the baby.Using this method of waterbirth helps reduce the pain.  Because of the
heated water it soothes the tissues and helps with the pain.

Most women will go through this procedure 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 using drugs actually can cause the labor to slow down. 

It is a safe alternative of delivery.  For women looking to having their baby naturally this might be the way to go.  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.
