Having a baby is the one of the most precious moments for a woman.The joys of bringing in a new life into the world is like none other.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.  Some women use the water just for the labor part.This is done because the water that is heated is very pain relieving.  It is soothing to the tissues.

Other women also use it to deliver the baby.They don’t leave the water till the delivery is all the way through.  Even all the way through 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 will want to find an experienced one. 

Why do quite a few women pick this way of delivering over the hosptial method? As described earlier, delivery and the labor part is extremely painful.  Most women use drugs to cope with the pain.But for quite a few women they do not want to introduce drugs into their body in fear of harming the 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 have this done through a natural process.They won’t ask or use any drugs to help lessen the pain of labor and delivery.A lot of times this causes the labor to proceed much faster.Because using drugs actually can cause the labor to slow down. 

It is actually a very safe alternative 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 takes for a woman is to research and see
how safe it really is.
