“Water birth holds several potential benefits for mothers including lower pain scores, less use of pain medication, less use of artificial oxytocin, shorter labors, a higher rate of normal vaginal birth, a higher rate of intact perineum, less use of episiotomy, and greater satisfaction with the birth.”
Water birthing or simply laboring while immersed in water can have numerous benefits. Both options are available to you and can be discussed in greater detail during your prenatal care visits.
I will provide a professional-grade birthing tub by La Bassine at no extra charge and will bring it to inflate in your room of choice on the day of your labor. The additional supplies needed would be a food-grade hose long enough to attach to an interior faucet, a protective pool liner that keeps the pool sanitary for each individual use, and extra towels.
After the birth, my assistant and I will drain the pool, deflate it, and take it with us upon exiting your home. Contrary to most beliefs, clean up is minimal and rarely does anything surrounding the pool get wet.
“But women will be saved through childbearing- if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.”
