We have evidence from studies involving thousands of women and babies that using water for labour and birth is safe and leads to good outcomes.

Using water also brings advantages for some women, including less need for other kinds of pain relief and increased maternal satisfaction.

But, as with many things in obstetrics, practice doesn’t always follow evidence.

Some organisations, such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, do not recommend waterbirth.

They sometimes cite anecdotal stories and hypothetical risks, while ignoring large studies which evidence that waterbirth is safe for women and babies.

This means that researchers need to keep doing more studies in order to demonstrate that woman-centred options are safe and effective.

Numerous studies evidence waterbirth safety.

There is room in this class. Please reach out to Natasha if you would like to attend or get more information about upcoming classes.

Hey friends!! I have a huge favor to ask..

I have a class coming up one week from today. And I've got a few attendees.... but I'd love to get a few more!!

I went 10ish days without a phone or computer (I was not on call..obviously I would never do that if I had expecting clients) but that did put a damper on promoting or communicating about the class.

The favor is -- a quick share.. whether that's to your story or your profile or to a loved one with a baby on the way... I would truly appreciate your support in this way!!

Thanks in advance for supporting my small business, my passion, my family, and the families that you share with!! 🤗🤗🤗 We are so grateful for you!!
