I had a water birth with my second and it was amazing really took the pressure off my pelvis, I had no pain relief at all the water was lovely and the whole experience was just beautiful I gave birth on my knees and when she came out the mw gave her a gentle push and she floated up into my arms
I did tear but it was my scar from my first birth that tore so I probs would have been ok otherwise. Don't worry about stitches Hun, you don't feel the tear and they numb you for stitching anyway, I would say the best advice to avoid stitches is listen to your midwife lol xxx -

I had SPD both pregnancys and planned water births with both (partly due to the SPD). Ended up with 1 land birth and 2nd time had my water birth. Would highly recomend the water, especially for SPD. It was so much easier in the water than on land. Water birth is easier on the pelvis and I recovered much quicker from the SPD with the water birth approx 3 month compared to 1 year after land birth.

Hi , I did experience a water birth with my third child , and I think is better than a regular birth as it is easy for you to move in the water , and also I think it is better for the baby aswell.Good luck !

I hadnt booked in for a water birth but when i got to the hospital the bath was available. I was unsure at start whether to use it! The midwife was lovely and said she'd get it ready and i could try it!
My back had really started to ache so i decided to try it! OMG!!!!! what a relief! and with the Gas and Air i was soon floating! After an hour i got out of the bath so they could examine me and in those 5 minutes i longed to be back in the water as it took so much stress and pressure off me!
I'd recommend waterbirth to anyone!

I had a waterbirth for my 3rd baby and it was fantastic! It really eased the pain of the contractions and my son literally just fell out! (well, not quite lol). I was desperate for a water birth when i had my 4th baby but unfortunately there were not enought midwives on the midwife-led ward as one had to go up to the consultant led ward, so i couldn't have one
I am now pregnant with baby number 5 and am really hoping that i can have one again this time around. You can hire pools for use at home, but i'm not really keen on the idea of giving birth at home! -

i wanted to have a full water birth i was in the pool for just over an hour but it slowed my contractions down, i would recommend it to anyone, it relieved the pains and makes you feel more comfortable, i had to get out and as soon as i did contractions were back and way to go again, i gave birth 2 hours later
