I won't be able to tell you about it until December though, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-water-birth#post-195366 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 15:32:07 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 195366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep yep, but you read about it already (<a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/06/05/wonder-babys-birth-story/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/06/05/wonder-babys-birth-story/</a>)</p> <p>@MamaMoose: Sad truth is, it's gross wherever you have the baby! But just labouring in the tub is fantastic for being more comfortable, you might be able to delay wanting the epidural for longer if you try a tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-water-birth#post-195324 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 14:56:07 +0000 cvbee 195324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: wow! those pics are awesome! thanks for sharing the link! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-water-birth#post-195266 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 14:26:51 +0000 Honeybee 195266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somebody on WB had a water birth and posted the most beautiful pics.

But I wouldn't want to actually have the birth in there. I want an epidural, and the idea of the afterbirth floating around in there really grosses me out. We haven't for sure picked our hospital yet so I don't even know if a tub will be available to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-water-birth#post-195171 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 13:30:26 +0000 chopsuey 195171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: so awesome that your ob and hospital both do water births! I considered doing a water birth this time around, but I'm too chicken :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-water-birth#post-195022 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 11:55:57 +0000 MrsMccarthy 195022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i haven't had mine yet but my OB and our hospital does water births and i plan on having one. you can't be in the water with an epidural though. your only option would be to try the water first and then get out if the pain becomes unbearable and you feel you need the epidural. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-water-birth#post-194781 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 08:27:46 +0000 chopsuey 194781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to have a water birth with Lo, but my OB doesn't do water births.<br /> I also wanted the option of having an epidural. :) </p> <p>I've seen some videos of water births on YouTube and they look awesome. </p>
