Another option is water birth and the benefits to it is that the mother is placed in warm water, which helps them become comfortable and relaxed. The immersion in the water often helps lower high blood pressure caused by anxiety. When using the water birth option, the mother will need to be floating and that helps promote efficient uterine contractions, and that helps circulations, which results in better oxygenation of the uterine muscles, less pain, and more oxygen for the baby. (Water Birth) The warm water helps the perineum to become more elastic, reducing the chance of …show more content…

The mother is also allowed to eat and drink, keeping her energy levels high. According to recent studies, newborns are more alert and involved in pre-breastfeeding, compared to medicated births because pain relief medications affect the child.

  • Summary: The Woman In The Body

    1768 Words  | 8 Pages

    In the last ten years, more and more women are going the home-birthing route because it is safer and more natural. This can be seen as a mini revolt against the stigmatized and dehumanized view of mothers and birth. Using a midwife and having a home birth allows for the body to naturally go into labor, a labor that could last hours or even days. The female body is designed to naturally produce oxytocin, a hormone that causes labor. In this process, a mother goes through contractions where the baby is turning around so they are facing head first.

The neonatal nervous system was considered to be underdeveloped and up until 1985, clinicians did not think it was possible for neonates to experience pain. Advances in neonatal research, however, have demonstrated that newborns do in fact experience pain and controlling that pain can have both short and long term benefits. Neonatal pain or discomfort occurs during patient care, moderate, and severe invasive procedures.

  • Essay On Hydrotherapy

    731 Words  | 3 Pages

    Concept Hydrotherapy can be exercised in two ways during the laboring process: water immersion in labor, in which during the first stage of labor the laboring woman gets into a pool or tub of warm water prior to the baby being born and waterbirth, in which the woman remains in the water during the pushing stage. Showering also provides laboring moms with the comforts of warm water. While the concept of water immersion during labor is widely accepted, the safety of waterbirth is more controversial (Dykes, 2017). Many of the benefits of water immersion are attributed to the buoyancy of the water, such as the pressure water puts on the body. Other benefits include lower episiotomy rates and labor progress facilitation due to decreased stress and

  • Midwifery Argumentative Essay

    295 Words  | 2 Pages

    Unlike doctors that only have one agenda when it comes to a woman giving birth, midwives provide women with individualized care uniquely suited to their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and cultural needs. In the course of developing that relationship, midwives provide personalized and thorough care at many levels that empowers the soon-to-be mother in her ability to give birth and care for her baby. The maternity care practiced should be based on the needs of the mother and child and not the caregiver or provider; therefore, interventions should be avoided with the natural birthing process unless complications arise. Until 1940, midwives used to deliver most babies; however, there was a cultural and social shift that made women believe that the hospital provided a safer, pain-free birth without risks of hemorrhage, infection or death (Connerton). This movement has “grappled with economic, political, religious and racial differences” (Craven).
