Water Childbirth

Give birth in the source of all life! Water childbirth was the first birth in evolution.

All life on Earth was born in water! Long before the land became our chosen place to live and thrive, we were creatures living water. Deep in our genes the southing and loving caresses of water are still alive! Growing from a fetus to a baby, we lived in water. The water in the amniotic sac was cushioning any abrupt movement or sound, keeping us safe and comfortable in our mother womb.

In the same way water in childbirth is the greatest relaxation environment. Water childbirth allows the mother to feel at home, even in a hospital. It allows much more space for movement and helps the mother to concentrate within through the contractions.

Water childbirth is a real blessing. Flowing and breathing deeply, the muscles in your body relax; you become aware of the softness of your body and connect to it and the baby.

Water can help you to shield from the outside world and be within. Try keeping positive thoughts, being more open and letting the wavelike motion of birth carry you to the other side.

In water childbirth you can create a new space, feel the energy cascade down your arms and thighs. With each inhalation you can easily connect to the channels of energy, bringing life.

Surrounded by comforting water, you can experience the timeless beauty and vastness of giving birth. You can deeply personally feel the new life budding in you and yearning to emerge. The water soothing permeates every cell and atom of your being as you contribute to the new life and love.

Let the sparks of water and pure energy reach down to the depth of your being. Connect with the light within, the female power in the energy of water and your body. And as you slowly move and feel the natural pushing within, become aware of a new being born with your baby within you.

Spiritual Midwifery Book

The classic book on home birth is now available in a new edition, with updated information on the safety of natural childbirth, new birthing stories, and the most recent statistics on births managed by The Farm Midwives. Included are stories of working with Amish women, shedding light on a different culture with a similar appreciation for natural childbirth. Ina May also provides new information about potentially dangerous techniques routinely used in hospitals during and after birth, as well as the latest findings about VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). Improved instructions for handling breech births are also given. When the first edition of Spiritual Midwifery was published in 1976, it introduced an entire generation of young women to the possibility of home birth and breast feeding. It also breathed new life into the all-but-vanished field of midwifery.
