After going through my birth plan with the midwife she suggested I might like a water birth. Just after people's experiences please. How hot do they have the water? (As hot as a bath or just lukewarm ) does the pool maintain the heat of the water or does it need to keep getting refilled / topped up? Also on mentioning this to my mum she said they're a breeding ground for legionnaires disease and I should avoid it. I know this is probably a completely wrong view as surely they wouldn't suggest it if there was a significant risk of it. I had quite difficult births previously especially when it came to the pushing stage did anyone find it easier to labour in the water than on a bed?
