Waterbirth
Water provides a private protected space which is calming and peaceful. It facilitates mobility which enables you to be in positions that are comfortable for labour and birth. It is also known for:
• Speeding up labour
• Giving mothers more feeling of control
• Providing significant pain relief
• Promoting relaxation
• Reducing the need for drugs and other interventions
• Reducing perineal trauma and episiotomies
• Encouraging a gentler welcome for baby
Two birthing pool are available on the Maternity Led Unit and Delivery Suite. Pools can also be arranged for homebirths. Speak to your community midwife for further information.
