Water Birth

Water birth is a wonderful pain management tool to use in a home birth setting. When moms are in active labor and need more support the hydrotherapy helps them to relax and helps to dull the pain of the contractions.

Women who labor in the tub are less likely to have an epidural and can have a shorter first stage of labor. Many women like it because it provides a sense of privacy. It is also easier to move around to different positions.

Sierra Madre does have an inflatable birth tub if moms do want one used in their labor. We bring it at the time that mom is in labor and set everything up. After the baby is born we take everything down and clean it all up to be taken out when we leave.
