My obstetrician asked me to consider having a waterbirth...why would I want one?

Why would you want one..I ask why not

I was in a bath filled with water for half of my labour with N...ahh it was bliss I gotta tell ya...the pain was easier for me...i felt weightless (I actually fell alseep lol) I wish I would have been able to have stayed in it but my midwife wanted me on my feet cause I was getting to mellow lol

I think that your more in control of your birth by having a water birth, you are the one that can pass the baby up to yourself IFYKWIM when you have had them....Ive heard from so many woman how empowering it is.

GO for it babe

I want your ob too, and your hossy XD

I say go for it too, if you end up not liking it or feel you need to have your feet on solid ground to give birth there is nothing stopping you from jumping out...

That's what I'm thinking...I just don't really know anything about waterbirth because it has never been an option. I remember being cranky with the midwife when she made me get out of the shower because "it was time to push" because I found the water so soothing.
