Advantages of having a baby in water

Giving birth in water is a relatively unfamiliar but very familiar method of childbirth, because this method has been widely used in the past. With the advancement of science and technology, people gradually adopted cesarean section to give birth. The improvement of living standards requires people to be able to give birth to babies in the healthiest way during childbirth. Therefore, the advantages of giving birth in water have become apparent.

"Water birth" does not actually mean giving birth to a baby in water. Only some expectant mothers can complete the water birth.

There is a reason why mothers like and choose "water birth". When soaking in warm water, the body and mind of a person will generally be calmer and more relaxed. Due to labor pains, the secretion of stress hormones in the body that cause high blood pressure and prolong labor will be reduced.

The buoyancy of water relaxes human muscles, allowing more energy to be used for uterine contractions, which can speed up the labor process and shorten the time it takes to give birth. It is also more comfortable to move in water than on a delivery bed. Taking some different postures can help relax the pelvis, relax the pelvic floor muscles, promote cervical dilation, and make it easier for the fetus to pass through the birth canal. For newborns, the state in water is very similar to the feeling of soaking in the amniotic fluid in the mother's womb, which can form a transition of sensation. In addition, water birth lasts a shorter time, which can reduce harm to the mother and the risk of hypoxia for the baby.

From the above introduction, there are many advantages of giving birth in water, which cannot be compared with general caesarean section and other methods of delivery. Therefore, families with the conditions can try to give birth in water at home and let the new life enjoy a different way of birth. However, I hope that everyone will give birth in water under the accompaniment of medical staff to ensure safety.
