Anyone planning a waterbirth? :) I am and I'm so excited even though it's so far away.

I've always wanted a water birth but I don't think my Dr does it and idk who does here.

I am going to a free standing birthing center with midwives to do it.

My hospital 🏥 don't do it either 😟

Most hospitals don't some of the birthing centers attached to hospitals do though.

we had planned a water birth but unfortunately my fiancé was only home for a little bit of time so I had to be induced at 40 weeks and ended up with a c-section

@gabesmommy20, when are you due with baby #2?

I'm due July 30th

cute :) I'm due July 12th

I'm planning one even though I'm early. My doctor with my first was terrible. He gave almost every patient episiotomies just to get in and out. I hadn't even been pushing 13 minutes and he cut me. I want to try a natural water birth. I heard apart from calming you and the pain, it helps reduce risk of tearing. I'm thankful my new obg has midwives and a birthing center at the hospital. You can have the bed too incase you decide to get out of the water.

@srkr1191, The birthing suite I visited had a huge bath and a big bed so whatever happens haha. I've just read so much about the benefits of using it as pain relief.

Absolutely. Watch some YouTube videos on water births. So relaxing. I feel like the Mothers are so focused and prepared that all they care about is that the baby will be there soon and they're on it lol. I hated not being able to walk after my Daughter was born with the epidural. An I'm paying for it now. 😭

@srkr1191, right? I'm going to be looking into hypnobirth classes too. Everyone thinks I'm wacko but I've seen how well this stuff works.

Haha hey! If wacko works then it works. I'd like to learn it too. I'm hoping my midwives can show me all kinds of things.

most definitely :) and Congrats!
