Are you pregnant and trying to decide the best method of giving birth for both you and your baby? If you're considering water birth, that probably means you're looking not only for a less painful or traumatizing way to give birth, but also to provide your baby with a more comfortable, natural, and less stressful environment in which she will encounter this world for the first time. How you give birth is a big decision to make, so you need to have a complete understanding with all the facts, and that's exactly what this book is geared to help you with. This book thoroughly examines the advantages and disadvantages of having a water birth, from the perspective of both mother and baby. I'll explain the full process of water birthing, and how to determine if this experience is right for you. However, we won't disregard the disadvantages either. I'm going to reveal all the contraindications in natural water birth as well as the risks that might occur and what you may be able to do to prevent them from happening. So if you're considering the water birth experience, then I highly recommend you not only read this book, but also follow your own judgment and of course your doctor's advice in preparation for the most wonderful experience of your life.

‘After the historic student revolt in France a period of audacious creativity resulted. The watchword was: “It is forbidden to forbid”. We took advantage of this transient cultural folly to do what would have been impossible ten years before or ten years after, introducing in the maternity unit of a state hospital an inflatable outdoor pool as a way to replace drugs during birth.’ – from the Introduction In this groundbreaking book, Dr Odent takes as his starting point the world-famous work on childbirth at Pithiviers, where he first noticed the strong attraction to water that many women have during labour. As well as discovering the practical advantages of water during the birthing process, he began to consider the meaning and importance of water as a symbol. Water, Birth and Sexuality examines the living power of water and its erotic connotations. Odent evaluates what water meant in different cultures throughout history, through myths and legends, and what it means for us today: from an advertiser’s tool to a metaphor for aspects of the psyche. He also studies humanity’s special relationship to dolphins, and the related ‘aquatic ape’ theory. A practical section on the use of water during birth and in various therapies, particularly sex therapy, is included. This edition of this classic work features a new Introduction.

As women increasingly seek more humanistic birthing methods than the hospital-based delivery, certified midwife Susanna Napierala suggests that water birth offers mother and infant the ideal circumstances for beginning their lives together. Warm water, explains the author, reduces the hours and stress of labor, offers bodily support and relaxes blood flow, helping to ease the baby's journey. The baby makes its transition to breathing air in a familiar, gentle medium. Avoiding the didactics of ideology, Napierala infuses her eloquent text with answers to commonly-asked questions: How does the baby breathe underwater? What about complications or infections? For whom is water birth a viable choice? How does a couple prepare for it? Water Birth guides the reader through the details of parental and midwife preparation, labor, and birth, noting danger signals that must be heeded. Here is a wealth of solid information, personal testimony, and instruction for those who make this choice. Giving birth is one of life's most enriching, yet emotionally and physiologically stressful experiences. Faced with the dehumanizing mandates of the medical establishment, women increasingly seek alternatives to hospital birth. In her carefully presented book, Susanna Napierala, midwife to more than 600 births over 18 years, suggests that giving birth in water offers mother and infant the ideal circumstances for beginning their lives together. Recognizing that this birthing approach is not yet widely practiced in the United States, Napierala readily acknowledges the commonly-asked questions: How does the baby breathe underwater? What about complications or infections? What specifically makes water birth a viable choice, and for whom? How do a couple and their chosen midwife prepare for water birth? Avoiding ideological didactics, the author cautions that, regardless of a couple's expectations of the birth experience, every pregnancy's priority should be a healthy mother and baby. As she details aspects of parental and midwife preparation, labor, and birth, Napierala counsels vigilance, noting possible difficulties and danger signals that must be heeded. For midwives, their assistants, pregnant women and their families considering birth options, Water Birth offers a wealth of solid information, personal testimony, and guidance for those who make this choice.

I was on a crowded beach in Spain, curious about the millions of human beings who spend their vacations watching and playing in the waves, when I received the manuscript of Rima's book. In the 1970s, having noticed the strong attraction towards water of many women in labor, we introduced in our maternity unit a garden inflatable paddling pool, the "ancestor" of hospital birthing pools. Just as we at Pithiviers were pioneers of water labor and water birth, so Rima Star is a pioneer of both-she was one of the first two women in the United States to give birth in water back in 1980. Since then, she has attended and facilitated hundreds of water labors and births, accumulating over many years her Water Birth Wisdom-which she now offers to all in this magical book. We need more observations and interpretations of the mysterious connections between Homo sapiens and water, and Rima provides many of these herein, relating to both parents and babies. Thank you, Rima! -Dr. Michel Odent Author of Planet Ocean: Our Mysterious Connections to Water Rima Star, Founder of Star Institute, is widely known as the "mother of water birth" in the United States and elsewhere. Author of The Healing Power of Birth, she is also well-known as a rebirther/breath therapist, originally trained by Leonard Orr. She was one of the first breath therapists in the US and remains in active practice. For many years, she taught a 250-hour program in birth journey facilitation at Star Institute. Her curriculum trained students to help families from pre-conception to post-birth bonding. Her methods add massage for parents and infants, breath work, and other therapeutic techniques to the repertoire of the doula, and she has trained hundreds of birth facilitators in her system.
