Water Birth Benefits

  • A relaxing, calm and comfortable birth experience

  • Less chance of needing medical pain relief

  • Vaginal birth is more likely to be successful

  • Provides an increased sense of control

  • The buoyancy of the water makes you feel lighter and enables you to get into more comfortable positions.

  • It can increase the sense of privacy

  • Reduces perineal trauma

  • It can help with labour progression

  • It can help you to feel energised

  • The relaxing effect of warm water also helps to produce endorphins, promoting the body’s natural pain relief mechanism.
