Beautiful! I've always wondered about this method. I've heard a lot of people say that it is much less traumatic for the child.

Yes, I thinks that’s the case indeed. This is my third water birthing experience. Because the baby is immersed in amiotic fluid and then into water that’s at body temperature, the impact of Earth’s gravity is far less. In the case of my first two girls, they were awake with their eyes open with only their head out, and then attempting to swim once out of the womb as their limbs weren’t as constricted by the weight of gravity.
