Guest guest Posted February 12, 2001 Report Share Posted February 12, 2001 The idea behind a water birth, is that the water eases some of the labor pains...isn't it? I think I remember hearing that somewhere. I like the natural parenting style...the only part that scares me no pain meds for labor...I would love to do it that way, but think I might be too big of a baby myself! -AmyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2001 Report Share Posted February 12, 2001 Thanks !!! That sounds really cool! Will she then have a midwife instead of an OB?

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2001 Report Share Posted February 12, 2001 YES, SHE HAS A MIDWIFE THAT SHE SEES AND THAT WILL DELIVER THE BABY. (OOPS, sorry 'bout the caps) Anyway, it is cool. As much as I'd like to have a homebirth, I'm a scaredy cat. -- M. > > Thanks !!! That sounds really cool! Will she then have a > midwife instead of an OB?
