Water birth – only in Macedonia

Benefits of water birth:

• Reduced pain: Warm water relaxes muscles and reduces the intensity of pain.
• Reduced stress for the baby: The transition from the internal environment to water mimics the amniotic fluid, allowing the transition from water to water, which significantly makes the birth itself much gentler for both the mother and the newborn.
• Faster birth: Water encourages relaxation of the smooth muscles of the birth canal and shortens the time of birth.
• Reduced likelihood of the eventual need for medical intervention.
• Greater mobility: The mother moves freely in the tub and can assume a comfortable position.
• Reduced blood pressure: Water reduces stress and blood pressure in the mother.
