Laboring in water provides you with the privacy and autonomy that promotes more comfortable birthing.
Maybe you can remember a time where you didn’t feel well, felt discomfort or maybe just really fatigued…soaking in a warm tub provides the relaxation to relieve our physical and mental discomforts.
Our bodies are 60% water, so it just makes sense that water makes us feel better!
Benefits include:
- Ease of movement with greater mobility due to buoyancy
- Relaxation during and between labor surges
- Safe and effective pain management
- Reduction of blood pressure
- A sense of control and privacy
- Facilitation of cervical dilation
Investment: $425 (includes birthing tub rental, your own tub liner/hose/bucket for sanitation purposes and staff on call for your birth)
Franqui's Experience
The Orchid Nest prepared me and my husband for birth and postpartum! I couldn’t have gone through labor without my Doula -Julie. She remained calm when I was anxious. She guided me when I didn’t see the path. My husband and I part-took in the available hypnobirthing classes, comfort measures, and “I had a baby now what?” classes. They prepared my husband and I immensely to bring new life into our world. I also took advantage of Orchid Nest’s prenatal yoga to help prepare my body for labor. During labor I used a blow up water tub. The water tub was set up in the hospital by my doula. It was so helpful in relaxing me. It helped me relax and focus on my breathing. Even though my labor was strenuous I can honestly say that I experience a great birth due to Orchid Nest’s influence and teaching. All the Orchid Nest doulas are highly trained and are eager to serve families! You will not be dissatisfied with their services! ~Franqui Mari
