🌊 Water Birth: Safe. Empowering. Evidence-Based. 🌊
Two major studies—one from Cardiff University and another by the American Association of Birth Centers (AABC)—confirm what many birth professionals have long supported:
✅ Water birth is just as safe as traditional birth for both moms and babies.
✅ No increased risk of complications for low-risk pregnancies.
✅ Fewer interventions, less perineal trauma, and lower epidural use.
✅ Higher maternal satisfaction—many report less pain and more autonomy.
✅ Newborns had comparable Apgar scores and NICU transfer rates to land births.
Whether in a hospital or accredited birth center, water birth is a powerful, gentle option backed by science.
