Water Birth Considerations
While water birth offers potential benefits, it's important to be aware of potential risks.
- Infection Risk: There is a risk of infection for both the mother and the baby because blood and other fluids are in the water. If the baby is exposed to bacteria by opening their eyes or mouth underwater, the risk of infection increases.
Therefore, while water birth can be a positive experience, the presence of blood and other fluids necessitates careful consideration of hygiene and potential infection risks.
