Water Baby: Experience of Water Birth
=====================================

If you re a parent-to-be looking for alternatives to the hustle
and bustle that goes on during a hospital birthing experience, you
might want to wade on over to Water Baby, an underwater birthing
reference guide on the World Wide Web. Parents who have
experienced underwater births claim that it gives their newborn a
gentle introduction into the world, uniquely different from the
bright lights, loud noises, and cold air in a hospital delivery
room. The basic concept of the water birth is that Mom sits in a
nice, warm tub, with Dad and the midwife or doctor nearby to help.
The warmth of the bath is said to ease the labor pains while
providing Mom with plenty of room to move freely. The baby is
delivered underwater, then is slowly brought up to breathe air. A
natural transition to air breathing eliminates any need for
slapping or otherwise roughly stimulating the infant.
