Water Birth – A unique experience available only at Plodnost Hospital in Macedonia
5 August 2025
Water birth is not just a trend or an alternative. It is a deeply personal, calm and natural experience that many women around the world recognise as closely aligned with their values and instincts.
In North Macedonia, Plodnost is the only hospital offering water birth – an institution that continuously sets new standards in women’s health and maternity care.
What is water birth?
Water birth involves delivering the baby in a specially prepared tub with warm sterilised water. The mother remains immersed throughout the active phase of labour until the baby is born.
Warm water eases pain, relaxes muscles and supports more natural contractions. Women often describe the experience as more peaceful, more gentle and more empowering.
Why only at Plodnost?
At Plodnost Hospital, water birth takes place in a sterile delivery suite, fully equipped to meet European medical standards.
Every patient receives:
-
Prior consultation with an obstetrician-gynaecologist
-
A fully individualised birth plan
-
Constant support from our medical team
-
Controlled temperature and safety measures
-
A calm, private and respectful environment
This is more than a method – it is a synergy of medicine, compassion and respect.
