Water as a Birthing Medium in Birthing Pools

Giving birth to a new life is no less than a boon. This is a very special occasion for both the parents and the family members. People try their best to make this process as little painful as possible. There are many ways by which the child birth may take place. Generally, giving birth to a baby on bed where air acts as a medium is the most common birthing process. But if we talk about the other possible and available methods, then we might come across such processes where water is used as a birthing medium. Though water is being used as a baby delivering medium since ages, it has become very popular today. More and more hospitals have introduced birthing pools as a facility in their maternity wards. However, it is still considered as an option. Not all doctors take the water births as the best method for birthing. Therefore, it is very important to understand the benefits as well as the risks associated with the birthing pools.

What is water birth?

As the page_seo_title says, water birth is nothing but a method by which a fortunate event of baby birth takes place in water. Here the lady chooses to deliver the baby in a bath tub, pool of water or a hot tub. This method can be made use of anywhere. May it be in hospital or at home? The lady can actually deliver in the birth pools or have labor in pool and move out for delivery. Same medical care and attention is imparted to both the lady and the child in water as they are attended on the bed. There are special devices like the underwater Doppler that is used for monitoring the baby's heartbeat. Medications via an IV can also be received if desired.

Will birthing pool suit you?

Women who do not have any kind of complications in their delivery should give in for the birth pool methodologies. Women who have any kind of infections or pregnancy associated complications should never opt for this process.

Using and acquiring a birth pool

Though the hospitals and clinics provide the facility of birthing pools now-a-days, there are many people who prefer taking a birth pool by themselves and having the delivery at home. People may indulge themselves in practice like that of buying a pool but in most of the cases, they prefer renting one. Generally, the people who buy birthing pools are either a part of a big joint family or are little more careful regarding their occasions. However, birth pool hire is a very common practice in many countries. Many people have started their own business by buying multiple birthing pools and giving them on rent. Birthing pool hire is done in between the period of 37 weeks to 42 weeks. The charges of the pools are also fixed over the same time duration.

The main reason for preferring birthing pools is that water facilitates the process and cuts down the pain and stress associated with it.
