Is this your first? I had a friend that did it in the UK and said it was good. While I get the gravity part of it the last thin I would want to do is be wet while in labor. [ Reply | More ]

Yes, my first. Why wouldn't you want to be wet during labor? [ Reply | More ]

I would get cold - plus if I changed my mind I would hate to have to climb out and dry off in the middle of everything [ Reply | More ]

(posted below abt jacuzzi). I asked for more hot water when necessary. When I needed to get out, they just wrapped towels around me and it was no biggie--I was so busy laboring I barely noticed! [ Reply | More ]

I spent most of labor in a jacuzzi in a birthing center. It was hands down the only thing that allowed me to have an unmedicated birth. Pushing and delivery were on the bed, but I would do it in water with the right supports--midwife/ob, spouse, nurses. The water was heavenly. [ Reply | More ]
