“Do you perform water births?” is one of the most frequently asked questions we get and what the majority of mothers that come to us are looking for. We recommend that all our mothers at least consider laboring in water, but are happy to deliver earth babies as well! When you think about the environment your baby has spent the last 9 months in, that warm, amniotic fluid— giving birth in water seems natural. It makes your baby’s transition from that environment into the loud and bright outside environment that much easier. The decreased sensation of gravity also makes positioning for the mother less strenuous in water and promotes. Some of the well-known benefits of water birth include:
— Decreasing pain
— Decreasing length of labor
— Conservation of energy
— Reduces perineal trauma
— Relaxes and soothes mother to get in tune with her natural rhythm
Our new Birth Center will be opening this Tuesday, May 10th, with our Grand Opening Event and Open House on Sunday, May 15th! It will feature 2 beautiful water birth suites that meet all of the American Association of Birth Center guidelines, extra deep soaking tubs, private bathrooms, showers and queen-size beds. All of the comforts of home.
