I have some questions for the ladies that have had water births. Also, if you have birth stories, I'd love those as well!

1. Did your husband join you in the tub? If so, what was your experience and his regarding being in the tub together? Was your husband grossed out at any point?

2. Did you use a blow-up birthing tub, kiddie pool, or built in tub at a birthing center or hospital? What was your experience in terms of comfort? If you've had more than one water birth, what was different and which did you prefer?

3. How long were you allowed to stay in the water after giving birth? Did you deliver your placenta in the water as well?

4. Did you tear? And if so, were you required to immediately get out of the water for stitches?
