thanks for the link, i would like to have a water birth next time around after having to have a CS the first time due to complications. my hubby is the same, althoug I haven't had the emotional "its my body" reaction but i did tell him that it was my choice, to which he said no the baby is mine too.. ugh.
It is you going through the birth, but of course he's worried for the safety of his baby too. I can sympathize! The good news is you can show him that waterbirth is perfectly OK for you and baby. Definitely show him some waterbirth videos, and you can read through my two waterbirth stories, if you want. (If you go to the homebirth story list, it's Emily's birth, and Anna's birth. Seth's birth is also my story, and I laboured in water there, but had to get out to deliver because he wasn't budging.)
Waterbirth has been shown in some early studies to reduce the GBS infection rate in newborns.
I'll come back later - got to run.
cricket- i know, i apologised for that this morning lol!! awesome i will get him to read them, thanks! his main concerns stem from DS birth cos it was a massive drama from start to finish and waterbirth adds another unknown IYKWIM. im getting a hypnobirthing book/cd combo in a few weeks as well, they compliment each other apparently?
mg: omg what!? *runs off to look!*
