Deliver your baby in a waterpool....accepted or unaccepted?

When I am expecting a baby I plan to give birth at home. It is a safe place where I feel comfortable at home for the birth of my baby. I feel that a hospital is a busy place that would be way too stressful to have my baby in. I wanted to have a home water birth for my first baby. The hospital didn't like the sound of that at all. The midwifes weren't experienced with water births. They allowed me to labor in the water pool and to get out for the pushing. So I hired a water pool. I found the water calming and gave me relief from the pain. In my second pregnancy I bought a birth pool in a box. It got blown up and it was still filling up when my second baby was born. I had such a quick and easy birth that time. Due to his birth being so fast I didn't bother having my birthing pool for my third baby. I had an agonizing time and a far longer labor when my daughter was born. I recommend a water birth for a lady that wants to have a natural birth. She could have a home birth supported by midwifes or a hospital birth if they have a birthing pool on site.

I am unmarried but i will prefer to be at hospital because if anything happens to be wrong we have so many doctors and nurses they will help out.

i have 3 children but not havinganymore, i prefer to be at hospital to have children as its all there if anything goes wrong with the labour

yeah, i've heard about this method a couple of times, though i am not really aware how this would take place. i got curious when i was pregnant of my first baby and had myself researching on the subject. but then, i found very little results because it's a new method then, and it's not available yet in our country. aside from that, i'm afraid even with the word itself. haha... btw, i gave birth the normal method. good for me! :)

I personally would not want that kind of birth. I delivered 2 babies both in hospitals. I would not want that simply because I do not have the proper support system to help me get through with that kind of birth. I do however respect the opinion of other moms who wish to deliver with this kind of method. I do suggest however, that they study everything before going through with it because you are dealing with life here and it should be left with the hands of the experts.

No I wouldn't. This method could not only expose you but also your baby to infections. This is only beneficial to you as it helps you push the baby out. The risks far outweigh the benefits.

well they say this is best for babies because the transition of going to water and air will not affect them that much
