The relaxing effect of water, with its support and warmth, can help you through your labour. Your contractions may lose their rhythm if you become tense.
This means that your labour may stop and start without moving on. Being bathed in water is likely to help you go with your contractions in active labour, so that they are less stressful for you and your baby.
Women who have water births generally say they have had a positive experience. They say a water birth is particularly helpful when it comes to the pushing stage.
