Hiya anyone else hoping to have a water birth?
I'm 33+3 weeks - due April 12th, having a boy who I hope to deliver in water :)
Just thought I'd start a thread to chat to anyone with experience of doing this or plans to.
I found a helpful list of things to pack In your hospital bag if ur having a water birth, few things I propably wouldn't have thought of included
A bath pillow and flip flops. I'm
Also going to bring a string bikini - so it can easily be taken off for skin to skin contact once bubba has arrived. It also had disposable pants on the list to wear in the water to catch a long list of body fluids that make an appearance rather than spoiling bikini bottoms.
Also had a beach skirt on the list if u want to maintain your modesty throughout.
Anyone else got any things that are worth bringing?
Also I'd like to get a book on water birth, does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks
