Water birth is a natural birthing method where you give birth in a warm water pool. The idea behind it is that the water’s buoyancy helps reduce the weight on your body, making movement easier and less painful. Immersing yourself in warm water during labor can help you relax, reduce muscle tension, and even relieve the intensity of contractions. For many women, water birth can feel soothing, and it might reduce the need for pain-relieving medications.
That being said, water birth isn’t for everyone. Some medical conditions or complications might require you to have a hospital birth without water. It’s important to discuss water birth with your healthcare provider before your due date to determine if it’s a safe and viable option for you and your baby.
At Borneo Mother & Child Hospital, we offer warm water birthing facilities, and our trained professionals will guide you through the process. We make sure you and your baby are monitored closely, ensuring safety and comfort throughout the entire experience.
