Why a water birth?
Waterbirth was not always an option and still isn’t in many hospitals locally and nationally. It has become more and more popular over the years at North Fulton Regional the practitioners at Alpharetta Women’s Specialist provide their hospital services..
Women who choose waterbirth are normally educated prenatally and have done extensive research on the benefits leading to their decision.
Some of the benefits may include but are not limited to:
- Smoother transition for the baby, birthing from warm water into warm water.
- Creates greater pain relief and buoyancy for the mother.
- Keeps the mother’s perineal tissues relaxed, warm and supple for minimal (if any) tearing.
- Allows more room for comfortable positions more favorable to the mother and the baby (optimal fetal positioning).
- Relaxes the mother completely with the skin being the body’s largest organ.
