Who has had a waterbirth?

[Cricket]

I've had one water birth and used water for relief in labour with one other. Both were GREAT! The water totally helped me relax and made me much more able to cope with my contractions. Definitely planning on labouring/delivering in water again. (I didn't deliver DS in water, because we had to get out and change positions - he was pretty stuck, but eventually made his way out. )

Being in the water also makes it harder for others to touch you if you don't want to be touched. much harder to be cut without your permission if you are sitting in a pool.
