| A question about water-birth
For the next baby, I'm planing a water birth and I want to know your experience, for those who have had a water-birth what did you think of it? Is it really that great for pain? I'm planing on going natural again. I want to know as much as I can about water-births. Pros and cons and anything you wish you had know prior!  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | It was very calming, mine wasn't planned but I had a bath when I was having bad contractions and it seemed to help more than just sitting around or leaning over the sofa. I can't say if it helps with the pain later on, as I had gas and air but I think I did a lot better in the birthing pool than I would have done in any other position, it felt more natural and relaxing. |

It would cost me $2,000+  I'm also high risk  So I'm going for the next best thing, water birth in the natural birthing area! | | | | Status: Offline
