Benefits for Mother & Baby

Warm water is soothing, comforting, and relaxing. Parents are not stressed or worried about their surroundings. In the later stages of labor, the water has been shown to increase the woman’s energy. The effect of buoyancy lessens a mother’s body weight, allowing free movement and new positioning. Buoyancy promotes more efficient uterine contractions and improved blood circulation resulting in better oxygenation of the uterine muscles, less discomfort for the mother, and more oxygen for the baby. Immersion in water often helps lower high blood pressure caused by anxiety. Since the water provides a greater sense of privacy, it can reduce inhibitions, anxiety, and fears.

For the baby, the water provides an environment similar to the amniotic sac. Eases the stress of the birth transition thus increasing reassurance and a sense of security. Entering the World with calm and tenderness.
