Having a baby is the one of the most precious moments for a woman.  The experience of delivering a new life is like no other.  Although it comes with great pain, most women will agree 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 do this because the heated water is pain relieving.It soothes and relaxes the tissues.

Other women will also delivery the baby through it.They don't leave the water till the delivery is all the way through.  Even all the way through delivering the placenta.

The entire procedure is usually administered by someone that is referred to as a midwife.  If you are in San Diego there are plenty of midwives San Diego.You will want one that is very experienced. 

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 some women, they don't want drugs for fear of harming the baby.Using waterbirth for delivery helps ease some of the pain.  Because of the
water heated it is soothing to the tissues and helps reduce the pain.

Most women will have this procedure usually done naturally.They usually won't use any drugs to dull the pain of labor.A lot of times this causes the labor to proceed much faster.Because when you use the drugs it can really slow down the labor. 

It is actually a very safe alternative of delivery.For some women who are wanting to have their baby naturally this might be a choice to go with.  I have seen many happy deliveries as a San Diego licensed midwife.  All it takes for a woman is to research and see
how safe it is.
