waterbirth with first baby?

Tink1o5 · Nov 9th, 2009, 14:07 PM

This is my first baby but i have my heart set on a waterbirth, if all goes well.

Has anyone had a waterbirth with there first baby?

This is my first too and I'm hoping for a waterbirth! I don't think they'd refuse?

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.

I honestly can't imagine the appeal.

The whole idea grosses me out.

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

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.
