Do I have to give birth in the water?

Category: Planning Your Birth

No, you do not have to give birth in the water unless you choose to. At Community Birth and Wellness, we have experience supporting a variety of birth preferences. It is entirely up to you. Our midwives are here to honor your preferences, whether you choose to give birth in your bed, on a birthing stool, or in another part of your home. Your comfort and autonomy during your birth experience are our priorities, so we’ll support you in whichever setting you feel is best for you.
