That’s because they enjoy advantages like decreased labor period, no need for epidurals, and mobility in the tub. These simple things make the experience worthwhile. If epidurals are not used, the mother will be left with more energy and a wonderful feeling after giving birth. Some research also suggests that newborn infants whose mothers used an epidural may have trouble in successful suckling during the first few days of their life, so taking the drug out of the equation would eliminate such risks.

Why You Should Consider Water Birth
Why You Should Consider Water Birth for your baby with Labors of Love Midwifery

Water Birth Greenville SC
The Opposing Views on Water birth
Sometime when the concept of water birth is presented, people have a tendency to have polar opposite responses. They may envision it to be revolting, swimming in a pool of body secretions or unwinding like being in a health spa. They may envision it to be completely natural (because of course, the baby has been in a pool of water, not breathing for 9 months) or completely unnatural (besides we aren’t dolphins!). Or possibly they see it as a wonderful advancement in giving birth given that our mothers had very clinical, sterilized births or they may think it’s archaic like boiling water.
However, I discovered that when a woman is in labor, a pool of water is her ideal remedy to fatigue, stress and anxiety as well as pain. The majority of moms get in and never want to come out irregardless of whether they initially liked the idea or not. Previous worries about what is in the water totally vanish. She has managed to get back into her “groove” and feels the labor progressing and knows that the effects of water immersion have decreased adrenaline, increased Oxycontin, added the comforting pressure of hydro-static pressure on her body and improved mobility-making labor tolerable if not enjoyable.
Water birth for Relaxation and Pain Relief
Our practice only does normal, natural childbirth. We give water immersion and water birth much of the credit. Our clients have the advantage of a strong provider/patient partnership and the presence of their midwife continuously during active labor. Our moms are very well prepared for labor during their pregnancy because we spend 45 minutes or more during prenatal visits at which time our midwives’ provide teaching, and health coaching. We also have Mary Kury, our childbirth educator, who teaches childbirth classes. We welcome our client’s to use doula services, if you need recommendations, we can provide them upon request. We are patient with labor, never quick to induce or augment labor. We like to see labor progress with walking and swaying and ball-sitting. But absolutely nothing makes labor more manageable and beautiful than water birth.
Water birth Safety
Naturally safety continues to be the issue of many individuals as well as groups like American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and American Academy of Pediatrics. Their committee point of view released on May 2014 stated that the evidence supporting the safety of water birth is lacking and so they do not recommend this pain relieving measure for labor. While the American College of Nurse-Midwives has a much more positive position on water birth.
It actually does not matter how “natural” the birth is if the mother and baby are not OK. All of us agree with that sentiment. The Midwives at Labors of Love Midwifery and Birth Center has caught hundreds of water babies safely without even one adverse effect related to the birth under water. I know for a fact that babies do not breathe under the water because of my own experiences. I believe that our sample size combined with many other midwives’ data across the USA is significant and conclusions of water birth safety could be found there. We will soon be able to give definitive evidence of water birth safety.
Additional Benefits of Water birth
Benefits of water birth beyond pain relief and relaxation include reduced perineum trauma, quicker labor, reduced blood pressure and pulse in mother, fewer infections (as Barbara Harper of Water birth International says “the solution to pollution is dilution!”) and reduced need for cesarean section. Our experience at Labors of Love Midwifery and Birth Center is that water birth is loved by mother and baby alike. The baby is greeted by a mother who calm and hormonally primed to begin mothering. We just stand back quietly and observe the beginning of the single most significant relationship the baby will ever have in its life without interfering with God’s/Nature’s perfect plan for bonding at birth.
It is not the water that makes the birth natural, rather the water makes a natural birth much more probable. No matter your initial reaction to the concept of water birth, I believe it is worth your consideration.

Ten Questions to Ask Your Care Provider! Looking for more info about using a Midwife in Greenville for your home birth? Go to https://scmidwife.com/ten-questions-to-ask-your-care-provider/ for more information. Or call us to schedule a free consultation with a midwife: 864-285-0574 Labors of Love Midwifery 1622 E. North St, Suite #8a Greenville, SC 29607 864-285-0574 First, you should learn as much as you can about all your choices. There are many different ways of caring for a mother and her baby during labor and birth. Birthing care that is better and healthier for mothers and babies is called “mother-friendly.” Some birth places or settings are more mother friendly than others. A group of experts in birthing care came up with this list of 10 things to look for and ask about. Medical research supports all of these things. These are also the best ways to be mother-friendly. When you are deciding where to have your baby, you’ll probably be choosing from different places such as: a birth center, hospital, or home birth service. Here’s what you should expect, and ask for, in your birth experience. Be sure to find out how the people you talk with handle these 10 issues about caring for you and your baby. You may want to ask the questions below to help you learn more. 1. “Who can be with me during labor and birth?” Mother-friendly birth centers, hospitals, and home birth services will let a birthing mother decide whom she wants to have with her during the birth. 2. “What happens during a normal labor and birth in your setting?” If they give mother-friendly care, they will tell you how they handle every part of the birthing process. 3. “How do you allow for differences in culture and beliefs?” Mother-friendly birth centers, hospitals, and home birth services are sensitive to the mother’s culture. 4. “Can I walk and move around during labor?" In mother-friendly settings, you can walk around and move about as you choose during labor. You can choose the positions that are most comfortable and work best for you during labor and birth. 5. “How do you make sure everything goes smoothly when my nurse, doctor, midwife, or agency need to work with each other?” Can my doctor or midwife come with me if I have to be moved to another place during labor? 6. “What things do you normally do to a woman in labor?” Mother-friendly settings only use methods that have been proven to be best by scientific evidence. 7. “Besides drugs, how do you help mothers relieve the pain of labor?" The people who care for you should know how to help you cope with labor. They should know about ways of dealing with your pain that don’t use drugs. They should suggest such things as changing your position, relaxing in a warm bath, having a massage and using music. 8. “What if my baby is born early or has special problems?” Mother-friendly places and people will encourage mothers and families to touch, hold, breastfeed, and care for their babies as much as they can. 9. “Do you circumcise baby boys?” Medical research does not show a need to circumcise baby boys. It is painful and risky. Mother friendly birth places discourage circumcision unless it is for religious reasons. 10. “How do you help mothers who want to breastfeed?” Do they tell all pregnant mothers why and how to breastfeed? They help you start breastfeeding within one hour after your baby is born. Newborns should have only breast milk.

It’s just easier and I got more sleep at night! When you breastfeed, it is always available to your baby, whether that’s a feed in the middle of the night, or in the middle of a road trip. When baby lets you know she’s hungry, you have a supply of perfectly-warmed milk, in adequate supply, with no waiting time required. 2. Money Saving Breastmilk is created by your body and only dependent on the food and water you consume, it costs nothing. Compared to the cost of formula alone, you could pay upwards of $3,000+ a year, not to mention bottles and other needed equipment. 3. Nutritional quality Not only is breastmilk balanced and perfect for all babies, but it’s also engineered for each baby – the formulation changes with baby’s age, and even in the presence of illness. 4. Bonding Life can be a hectic thing, and nobody knows that more than a busy mom. Every time you sit down to nurse your baby is a chance to catch your breath, look at your little one, and feel those hormones flowing! 5. Long term health benefits for mom and baby Long term health benefits of breastfeeding for baby include: significantly lower rates of gastrointestinal illnesses, a lowered risk of diabetes, childhood cancers and obesity, and a healthier immune system response to all the things that life throws their way.
