Water Birth: giving birth in water
Has anyone tried it?

I've had 3 children and 2 of them were waterbirths.
Waterbirth is AMAZING. Being in the water is very relaxing and does take away a lot of the discomfort. There is a reason that people often refer to it as "an aqua-dural" because it really is very effective pain relief!
Water babies are also typically very calm and don't cry very much.
Personally, I would never give birth any other way without a stong medical reason for it.

Have not tried it, but if you think you would be more comfortable doing it this way than any other, then go for it. It is you who is going to experience it. Remember that no 2 births are the same, so what was bad for some one else may be great for you and visa versa. Congrats on the baby!!!!

Complications may include fetal stress, water contamination with blood and bowel movements, increased maternal temperature, slowed or stopped progress of labor, excessive bleeding, and delayed delivery of the placenta.
