Underwater natural childbirth
“Maya was born in the water naturally, using methods of deep relaxation. My labor was easy, so it is hard to call it a job. My contractions were getting stronger and when I realized was born. The environment was incredibly soothing, very different from my first son who was born in a hospital. The water supported me and relaxed my body and tissues. Easily and smoothly Maya was born after only two hours of labor. Under normal circumstances I can not think of giving birth otherwise ”
These are the impressions of Cori, mother of Maya, about the birth of his daughter.
She is one of many mothers who opted for a natural birth underwater. In a normal pregnancy the baby has grown for nine months in a liquid environment, and to recreate the conditions to which water has been used since its conception, avoiding the trauma which means a sudden change of environment.
The act of giving birth in water is incredibly simple. A mother is immersed in warm water with a temperature equal to that of his body, and performs all labor there. Sometimes medical issues for the party came out of the water but if there are complications there is no reason for women to leave the water.
Even after the baby is born, along with both parents if you can stay in the water until they wish. There is no risk of drowning the baby and that instinct is able to hold their breath under water to breathe out to the surface, although there is no reason to stay in the water more than ten seconds after delivery.
