It may seem like birth pools and water birth are a new trend – but in fact, we can find evidence of water birth (also known as hydro birthing) in cultures across the world over the course of human history.
There are so many different brands and varieties of birth pools available in Australia for both home birth and water births at birth centres.
Water birth is becoming more popular, and it’s not just a fad!
So you’ve decided to have a homebirth with a private midwife – congratulations!
If you’re pregnant, you may be curious about having a professional birth photographer at your birth.
We know that every water birth is different. But we also know that so many women are drawn to giving birth in water and have positive birth experiences in a birth pool.
So what’s it really like?
In the world of pregnancy and birth, the terms “natural birth” and “natural childbirth” are frequently used.
I recently had the privilege of attending the Homebirth Australia conference in Sydney.
Yay, you want a water birth! We love that more women are drawn to water birth, because it supports natural birth and gentle transitions into the world for baby.
What does birth actually look like? Probably not what you’ve seen on tv.
