"Why do you choose to give birth in a bath?
Giving birth in a bath provides peace, warmth and relaxation. And especially the latter is very important during childbirth. Heat permeates your entire body, it makes you calmer and this also increases your awareness. So you are less in your head! The ideal temperature to sit in a bath during childbirth is 36 degrees. At the moment of birth, the ideal temperature is 37.5 degrees. This is the perfect temperature for a baby to be born and it is also not necessary to cover a baby with warm cloths and / or a hat. What you could do is occasionally pour some water over your child with the help of a measuring cup.
A bath birth is especially pleasant for expectant mothers. If you choose to only catch the contractions in the bath, then that is also fine. Always make sure that there is something like a birthing bed nearby. If this is unexpectedly necessary or you ultimately prefer to give birth in bed, then this is ready. What is also very important during your delivery in the bath is that you continue to drink enough. The temperature of the water decreases by about 1 gr. per hour, so refill it regularly with warm water, but NEVER with boiling water! Get out every now and then, so that your body stays alert, so to speak… Furthermore, make sure you have enough (bath) towels and / or a bathrobe. It is important for your body to stay at the right temperature outside the bath.
If you choose a bath delivery, you are in any case choosing a delivery with natural pain relief”
