I can see that. If I was having a singleton, I would definitely consider a water birth. </p> <p>Yeah, giving birth in sterile or clean salt water might be okay but the ocean? Yeah, not so sure about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2281293 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 09:01:18 +0000 BSB 2281293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Ah, yeah. True. I think my nephew came out with the sac still intact so they broke the sac afterwards. Yeah, I have no idea if this mom with the dolphin assisted birth will be standing on the ocean floor or floating or supported by something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2281280 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:56:21 +0000 blackbird 2281280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: OMG I just saw the picture in your original post.

Not like dolphins are in a shallow tub, anyways </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2281192 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:09:19 +0000 catomd00 2281192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought Dolphins tended to be particularly agressive toward pregnant women? Regardless this sounds like a horrible idea but I'm totally interested to hear the outcome. Hope it works out for the baby's sake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2281075 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 05:23:31 +0000 kindredjoy 2281075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Yeah, water birth is completely safe.</p> <p>But the water is supposed to be a certain temperature and clean, which the ocean isn't. Not to mention blood + sharks?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2281042 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 00:36:36 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2281042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol!! This is so weird! And the comments here are just as hilarious. Made my night. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2281017 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 23:27:54 +0000 jlm22 2281017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just jealous that baby gets to check off one of my bucket list items before he/she is even a day old. I've been waiting 30 years! :silly: </p> <p>@catlady: also thought it was an onion article! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2281011 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 23:06:56 +0000 BSB 2281011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: People can deliver by water births... My nephew was born that way... But it's the salt water in the ocean that concerns me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2281009 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 23:03:33 +0000 BSB 2281009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I love dolphins and think they are amazing animals, but I'm not sure I want to give birth with wild dolphins around. The article says they plan on giving birth in the ocean. Is that safe?... All that salt water for the delivery and the baby? I know salt water is good for preventing infections but is it okay for labor? Do they have to be concerned about sharks since won't there be blood in the water?<br /> Yeah, it's not for me. I am curious to hear an update to see how this goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2280995 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 22:40:38 +0000 simplyfelicity 2280995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: I didn't think about that, especially with the blood! Yeah...no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2280916 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 20:30:06 +0000 Truth Bombs 2280916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: who says you can't deliver in a tank at the aquarium!!?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2280913 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 20:20:00 +0000 getjazzy 2280913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where are the hidden cameras?

No way in hell does this sound like a good idea. Dolphins are animals. And animals are unpredictable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2280865 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 19:36:22 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2280865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: Yes. This is my new birth plan. I wonder what the midwives will say when I bring in this article....</p> <p>I just don't get it. I mean...water birth, sure. Swimming with dolphins, sure. But together? WHAT ABOUT THE SHARKS? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2280832 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 19:11:49 +0000 Finfan 2280832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have my 30-week OB appointment tomorrow. So tempted to bring this in and request it for my birth plan. We are thousands of miles from the nearest dolphins outside of aquariums! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2280795 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 18:10:35 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2280795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you think the dolphins can use echolocation to ease contractions? I mean if they can rid people of 30-year-old neck pain...anything's possible right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2280790 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 17:57:14 +0000 youboots 2280790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2280758 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 16:51:30 +0000 LovelyPlum 2280758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to know who the first person was that said, ya know, Imma give birth in the water with dolphins.

Does that mean my son is ambidextrous every other leap year? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolphin-assisted-births-are-a-thing#post-2280734 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 16:24:23 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2280734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I should have waited to see this after work.

See: <a href="http://www.planetpuna.com/dp.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.planetpuna.com/dp.htm</a> Underwater births in the Black Sea have been done for some 30 years and have shown that the children born in the water with the dolphins develop 6 months faster over their first six months, have perhaps 150 grams more brain weight and are ambidextrous."</p> <p>Uhm.... </p>
