Water Birth
Lucinda and Brooke encourage mothers to consider the many benefits of water in labor. About half of the mothers in our practice give birth in water.
Use your bathtub. If it's deep enough to submerge your belly and change positions in labor, it will work wonderfully. It is easier to refill a bathtub with warm water and to clean afterwards than any other type of birth pool.
Or you can borrow a tub from your midwives! We have a few types of tubs available to loan. They are available on a first come basis, so let us know ahead of time if you would like to borrow and we will try to match the best tub to your needs. You will need to supply a faucet to hose adapter and a tarp for protecting your floor available at any hardware store.
