Why use a birth pool
Water is natural to a baby. Throughout the entire gestation period the baby floats in the womb. Water is the quintessential place for labouring and/or birthing.
Water has the ability to alleviate some of the different pressure & pain experienced while in the labouring process.
Water can give the sensation of warmth and “coziness”
Give a sense of control during the birthing phase
Aid in energy conservation
Water Births are known to reduce trauma to the perineum
Increases relaxation
Provides ability to move around and change positions
Increased satisfaction with birthing experience
Water’s energy is soothing
for many people, water has the capability to provide adequate pain relief to help the labouring process
some women choose to use the pool to labour in only, or birth in only, or both labour and birth
a deep pool of warm water is another tool for the labouring/birthing partner to use for comforting measures
Water is weightlifting
Water is naturally more dense than our bodies, and therefore we are buoyant in water.
Water can help with:
easing the weight of your stomach on your back
assisting in squats that promote birth
relaxation during the waves of contractions
