What is a Water Birth?

A water birth is when a mother labors and/or gives birth in a warm birthing pool filled with water. Many women choose to spend part or all of labor in water because of the calming and pain-relieving effects.

At Brave Arrows Midwifery, we support:

  • Laboring in water

  • Partial water immersion during labor

  • Full water birth (baby born in water), when appropriate and safe

Water birth is always optional and based on your comfort, preferences, and clinical safety during labor

  • Reduced pressure on the body and joints

  • A calmer, quieter birth environment

  • Easier transition into labor for some mothers

Many mothers describe water birth as feeling more private, grounded, and emotionally peaceful.
