Water Births
Experience a calmer, more peaceful birth without pressure, intervention or stress. “Waterdural” as we call it truly helps ease the pressure and tightness of the hips and lower back therefore assisting labor to progress with a mother’s intuition. Women have been birthing for millions of years. We trust this process with professional guidance, patience, compassion and love.
Some Benefits for Mother
Warm water is soothing, comforting, relaxing.
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 pain 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 Baby the water provides an environment similar to the amniotic sac. Eases the stress of the birth transition thus increasing reassurance and sense of security. Entering the World with calm and tenderness.
