Waterbirths or Laboring in a pool has several benefits since the warm water in the birthing/laboring tub can help with:

 

  • Relaxation
  • May also trigger the release of more endorphins.
  • Improve blood flow to the uterine muscles, which can help you naturally handle labor discomfort.
  • Less pain and higher satisfaction with the birth experience
  • Less medication use for pain relief—this may be important for people who want or need to avoid epidurals or narcotic medications during labor
  • Less use of artificial oxytocin and possibly shorter labors
  • Higher rates of normal vaginal birth
  • Lower rates of episiotomy
  • Higher rates of intact perineum, especially in high-episiotomy settings
  • Possibly lower rates of severe tears (3rd or 4th degree), especially in high-episiotomy settings
  • Possibly lower rates of postpartum hemorrhage
