  • cocolily1001 - Babies dont always cry :) Peaceful birth, Peaceful baby. The baby has been in water for 9 months already, a few more seconds wouldnt hurt right? and besides, most babies cry because of the shock they get when they enter the world, like sudden changes in temperature.

  • You were just great in explaining this THUMBS UP

  • I love the idea of water birth but I wouldn't want to be in the water with the placenta and blood after the birth

  • @lejoypunkxu yeah im agree about that..

  • @harrybooty2011

    No because he was in the water for 9 months. Oxygene is new to him not water.

  • @OtterThanMost It is not safe to have a water birth if you will be using pain medication.

  • Can you still have an epidural in water birth? Because I am SO bad with pain...

  • I wish we have a water birth practice here in philippines I think it's much easier and clean

  • wish i could do a water birth. will be laboring in tub in hospital with my midwife, but if baby's head comes out, she said i will have to stand up, and they will catch the baby.. haha, because water births are not approved yet at the hospital so i cant technically give birth IN water.
