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 also known as waterbirth.

Waterbirth of all the methods of delivery has been described as one of the gentlest of methods.It utilizes and requires the use of a bath or pool that is heated.You will find some women will use during the labor the water part.They will do it because heated water is actually a good pain reliever.  It is soothing to the tissues.

Other women will also delivery the baby through it.They remain in the water through the whole delivery.Even till the placenta is delivered all the way through.

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 is there some woman who prefer this method of delivery rather than the hospital procedure? As mentioned, labor and delivery is very painful.  Most women use drugs to cope with 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
water heated it is soothing to the tissues and helps reduce the pain.

Most women will have this done through a natural process.They usually won’t use any drugs to dull the pain of labor.  Often times this actually helps the labor happen faster.Because when you use the drugs it can really slow down the labor. 

It is actually a very safe alternative 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.
