So I'd love a water birth but the two consultants I have seen have strongly advised against it. I haven't had one consultant throughout just the odd appointment here and there with whoever had me. Therefore they weren't really interested in me.
Today I was asked if I'd got the idea of a water birth out of my head yet. I said I was still considering it. I'm booked in for a final consultant appointment at 38 weeks no doubt with someone different again.
my question is....do I just say on my birth plan I still would like a water birth? is it as simple as that? The risks are just weight related due to high bmi.
