Water birth
Even though it's not very common, water birth is nevertheless a calmer and more gentle alternative to giving birth.
- Being in the water will make your body feel relaxed and light.
- Water at 37°C will reduce the intensity of contractions.
- It is important to know that if you opt for a water birth, you will not be able to ask for an epidural.
- If you stay in the water until your baby comes out, there is no risk of drowning for them because they develop in the amniotic fluid during the whole pregnancy.
