🖤 Water Births, what is the science behind them? From recent studies, it is understood that water births relieve pain and can contribute to a lower use of pain medication in women. It is believed that this particular act of birth increases the levels of endorphins in women and can lower anxiety. The actual positioning of the baby inside the pelvis is understood to be more beneficial 🖤 Cochrane researchers combined a total of 12 randomised controlled trials and came to the conclusion that a water birth absolutely decreases a woman’s chances of receiving an epidural. They also found that, water births quickened a woman’s labour by an average 32 minutes! 🖤 this really is just a tiny scratch of the surface, in the wonderful world of water birthing.

I had a belly full of belief, the moment my third labour begun; the stillness of the water and the peacefulness of my home brought my baby to the surface safely. Forever in awe of the female form 🖤
