Labor was much easier for me in the water than out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-waterbirth#post-19093 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 00:11:29 +0000 cyndistar3 19093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I labored in the tub for a long time and it was amazing for me, it really helped me relax. However I started having issues with my stability and wanted out. This next time I am hoping to try and stay in for the whole thing. I believe I was just too exhausted to try to figure it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-waterbirth#post-19092 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 00:07:17 +0000 Red 19092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Artbee, I expected more from the tub. I labored in a hot shower for about an hour while a birthing tub was being sanitized and once I actually got into the tub, I was really disappointed because it didn't ease the pain any more than the hot shower did. That and I couldn't really find a comfortable position in the tub. In any case, I didn't actually deliver in the tub 'cause my water broke in it and there was too much meconium in the tub so I had to get out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-waterbirth#post-18843 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:59:00 +0000 looch 18843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted one so badly, I even requested the room with the tub, but when the time came, it didn't sound remotely appealing, to be honest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-waterbirth#post-18772 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 10:26:48 +0000 heffalump 18772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't, but I did sit in the tub during early labor. I have to be honest, I thought it would help a lot more with the pain then it did. Maybe I'm just extra wimpy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-waterbirth#post-16921 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 18:21:29 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 16921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had a baby but every time I think about having a water birth I think I will get grossed out about stuff floating in the water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-waterbirth#post-16865 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 17:00:15 +0000 runsyellowlites 16865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It'll be an option but I'm not sold on it over a birthing stool.</p> <p>I'm sure I'll definitely be using it for labor though! I can't wait for the time to come for us to order ours and then get it all set up!</p> <p>*excited* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-waterbirth#post-16856 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:51:55 +0000 DillonLion 16856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jenna/Mrs. Avocado on WB did </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-a-waterbirth#post-16810 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:09:01 +0000 junebugmama 16810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh!
