Everything originated in the water.

Everything is supported by water.

- Johann Wolfgang Goethe 1749-1832

Water has long been known as a powerful tool for easing the intensity of labor. Immersion in warm water can create a sense of safety, calm, and relaxation — allowing your body to release tension and your mind to focus on bringing your baby into the world.

Benefits of Laboring & Birthing in Water

• Pain Relief: Warm water can reduce pain perception, allowing for more comfort and relaxation.

• Freedom of Movement: Buoyancy makes it easier to change positions and find what feels best for your body.

• Shorter Labor: Many families experience shorter labors when using water for comfort.

• Gentle Transition for Baby: Babies born in water are gently welcomed into a warm, familiar environment.

• Increased Privacy: The pool can create a feeling of a “nest,” helping you feel secure and undisturbed.

• Reduced Need for Intervention: Relaxation and comfort can help labor progress naturally, sometimes reducing the likelihood of interventions.
