What is a homebirth
The birthing of a baby is one of the most cherished moments of a woman’s life.The joys of bringing in a new life into the world is like none other. Although it comes with great pain, most women will agree it is worth it.
As a San Diego midwife I would like to share with you a method that you might not be aware of. It is called waterbirth.
Waterbirth has been called probably of all the methods of delivery the gentlest. It requires the use of a heatedwater bath or a pool.A few woman will just use the water for the pain of the labor part.This is done because the water that is heated is very pain relieving. It is soothing to the tissues.
Other women will also delivery the baby through it.They remain in the water through the whole delivery. Even all the way through delivering the placenta.
The entire procedure is usually administered by someone that is referred to as a midwife. If you are in San Diego there are plenty of midwives San Diego.You are going to want to have an experienced one.
Why is there some woman who prefer this method of delivery rather than the hospital procedure? As described earlier, delivery and the labor part is extremely painful. Most women use drugs to cope with the pain.But for a few women, the last thing they want to do is have drugs harm the new baby.Using waterbirth for delivery helps ease some of the pain.Because of the
heated water it soothes the tissues and helps with the pain.
Most women will go through this procedure naturally.They usually won’t use any drugs to dull the pain of labor.Often what this does is cause the labor and delivery to happen a lot faster.Because using drugs actually can cause the labor to slow down.
It is really a safe alternate way of delivery.For a few women who might want to have a natural birth this could be the method to go with. I have seen many happy deliveries as a San Diego licensed midwife.All it will require of a woman is to do a little research and see for themselves
how safe it really is.
