Why Consider Water Birth Services tumblr.com
The practice of giving birth in water is widespread around the world, and water birth services now finally becoming recognized in the United States as a secure and comfortable method of delivery. Allowing the mother to give birth in water, if appropriate, involves allowing her to labor in a tub of temperature-controlled water. The temperature of the tub water is typically kept a few degrees “cooler” than the mother. The baby's breathing is automatically repressed during the first few seconds after her delivery into water as a result of this and the colder temperature of the water. When the baby's face contacts the water at this point, it is still “breathing” through the placenta as it emerges into water that is kept just a bit cooler than the mother's internal temperature. This keeps the baby from going into apnea. You can get in touch with Circle City Midwifery & Women's Health Services, Inc. to know more about water birth services.
