There are so many positive reasons as to why you might want a waterbirth, as these Happy Parents. Happy Baby. graduates will testify.

Benefits can include increased comfort, shorter labours and a great sense of calm and control.

If you would like to plan for a water birth, Happy Parents. Happy Baby. antenatal and hypnobirthing courses can help you to do this. They include a session by an NHS Midwife and Obstetric (pregnancy and baby) doctor, who will explain all your choices, such as pain relief options available in the water, to positions for birth and what to expect once your baby is born. Our hypnobirthing teachers will also teach you breathing techniques, relaxations, massage and more, to complement a beautiful water birth experience.
