water birth…more comfortable? but im a germaphobe…..?
Byso ive heard water births are very comfortable with less pain etc….i want t do it because that would work for me….but just thinking of hanging out in a nasty pool of water disgusts me….i want to do it natural thats why i chose water birthing…..any one else had this problem….swimming in a red sea does not sound very fun to me…
thanks
the only time i wont be comfortable is once the baby is born and it will be great, i just dont like the fact that everything that was inside me will be in the water that I’M in

The water is sterilized when you birth in it. And besides, it’s your own baby. Once you’re in labor you’ll probably get over that part.

Same boat. I would love to do a natural birth, and a water birth sounds like a wonderful way to do that. I am hygrophobic, though, and nervous that I won’t be able to do it, anxiety and nausea wise. Thanks for asking; I am curious about this, too.

Don’t have a water birth if you won’t be comfortable in the water! Its more relaxing because you’re comfortable. Just give birth on the bed. I had a natural no meds birth on a bed and it was good. x
