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.Even though it has a lot of pain associated with it, the majority of women will believe 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 called probably of all the methods of delivery the gentlest.  It requires the use of a heatedwater bath or a pool.A few woman will just use the water for the pain of the labor part.They will do it because heated water is actually a good pain reliever.It is relaxing to the tissues.

Other women will also delivery the baby through it.They remain in the water through the whole delivery.Even going through it all including 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 are going to want to have an experienced one. 

Why do quite a few women pick this way of delivering over the hosptial method? As mentioned, labor and delivery is very painful.  Most women use drugs to cope with the pain.But for a few women, the last thing they want to do is have drugs harm the new baby.Using waterbirth for delivery helps ease some of 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 will not use any drugs to cope with the pain.  Often times this actually helps the labor happen faster.Because when you use the drugs it can really slow down the labor. 

It is really a safe alternate way 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.
