| i have a waterbirth booked for my 1st providing its safe at the time as i have lower back problems. My concern is that the baby will get stuck and i will not be able to get out of the water. But i am still keen. | | | | Status: Offline

| Only one midwife in my hospital qualified to deliver in a water birth so I have to hope she's on when I go into labour. It's my first baby too | | | | Status: Offline

| I was going to with my first, but then was too tired at that point. However, we're having a planned waterbirth at home with this baby, who is our second. | | | | Status: Offline
