I have to say that the prospect water birth is the only thing that have ever made me consider vaginal delivery (due to family history and fear). To me it seems so much easier and natural somehow.BlondeP, definitely! I had a pool birth last time and no pain relief - it was all the relief I needed! Not sure how anyone manages on dry land.
Laura, Ahh so exciting! Will be looking out for the results
I think it's up to each unit. Here the rule is if you have a BMI over 35,you can't have it as you're considered to fat for them to get you out of the water if needed. Can you tell I'm a bit offended by this? Lol, I mean at least it should be based on actual weight. I'm really short (160 cm), so BMI is weird for me. At 93 kg, I don't think I'm too heavy to be able to get out of a pool. :-DDidn't realise BMI restricts you having a water birth. So long as I can even dip my toes in one il be happy haha. But after reading more and more about this low papp a hormone I am worried that baby might be here a lot sooner than I hope and the last thing I have wanted is a prem baby, I can't imagine how emotionally challenging it would Be! xxxxx
