Water during labor is a GREAT coping technique--whether it's a shower or even better, a big tub. I used it with all 3 of my babies, even though only Henry was a waterbirth. And, being born into water (that's 98-99 degrees) is a really nice entrance into the world for the baby. Not quite as harsh birth is otherwise.

I used that "godspeed" song in my videso; I have 3 boys. Very sweet!

This was so sweet. I'm from the old school and I've never heard of a "waterbirth"...is this less painful for the mother, more comfortable for baby?? what are the advantages? By the way, I love the name Henry!

How amazing that your older children napped just in time to let everyone focus on the new baby. They got to wake up to a brother!! About the water, it is pain management, in part. When heavy with pregnancy, the weightlessness of water is a relief in general, too.
