Water births have been gaining popularity as an alternative to mainstay birthing methods, especially here in the US. This practice occurs when the baby is born entirely submerged in water, generally in a birthing pool. It can be done at home but is usually done in special birthing centers with midwives and nurses ready to assist you. This process allows moms to experience pain relief and reduce stress levels while giving their babies a safe and healthy delivery.
