water birth? I never did one with my first but my SIL did with all 3 of her kids, how does it help…

I plan on also asking to get into the bath tub at the hospital. My last labour I was in the shower lots and it was so relaxing and could hardly feel the pain of contractions so I can only imagine how much more relaxing and calming a bath would be. I’m getting very excited for labour..it sounds weird but I had such a great labour last time so hopefully this labour will go smoothly as well

Yes I was stuck to the bed last pregnancy cuz I got an epi but I really am trying to do an all natural birth this time, cuz the epi slowed everything down and made mine and babies heartrates drop.

Yep, planning a water birth at home.

The tub and shower have helped me a great deal by taking pressure off. I didn't give birth in the pool but plan to this time. It helped me so much that I didn't realize transition was over when I got out to pee and my baby's head came out on it's own as my water broke.

@Krista omg that's awesome! Hoping maybe it would help me lol

My two best births were the ones that involved a lot of time in the water (mainly transition). I would definitely take advantage of the tub.
