Spoke with my doctor today about my thoughts on doing a water birth and he was soooooo against it 😢 🚫👶🌊
He said there is a reason there is only "1" Doctor in Las Vegas that does it,
because its "unsanitary" and basically No other doctor agrees with it.
The fact that when im pushing I MIGHT poop and the baby MIGHT swallow the water && If there is an emergency I would have to wait for the water to go down in the tub before I can get out.
ugh....Im a little Burt hurt 😥
He said "Sorry I will not be delivering your bundle of joy if thats what you want to do"

Did you ask about just laboring in the water? And then getting out to deliver? It's called hydrotherapy.

My hospital simply won't do a water birth. They'll do hydrotherapy, however. Is that an option for you? *hugs*

@carterclaytonb, @lijro. I've never even heard of that method ...and my dr. didnt bring that option up to me

It's basically just sitting in a jetted tub or regular bathtub while you labor. It's definitely something to ask about. And if your doctors not supportive of your choices don't be afraid to look for a new one. You should feel confident and comfortable when you go into labor and birth your beautiful child. Nothing should make you feel as though you're not supported.

many do water births and it's not unsanitary and if u had an emergency u would be having to wait till the water goes down I know many friends who are midwifes and doulas. and when a baby is underwater during birth they don't take a breath till they come up and out of water and as soon as air hits they cry and open mouth to cry many doctors fine any excuse etc to get a woman to not to due water births and it's actually a total natural thing and calming for u and baby.

if u have any questions about it let me know and i can get any info u want from the nurses and midwifes for u
