is the pictures. At least, that rang true for me. Let’s get to the nitty-gritty—any way you look at it, childbirth is not fun. For those of us who want or have to do childbirth naturally, it can be even worse. Because of my severe scoliosis, I knew that I wanted to give birth without medication to reduce the risks for myself. Knowing that childbirth is a huge pain, I also knew that I wanted some sort of natural relief. Which is why I chose to have a water birth.
For those who haven’t been through it, childbirth makes you feel like you’re walking through Hell. You’re hot and sweaty and nowhere near ready to go into a jacuzzi. Honestly, it was the worst. Water is as freeing as ever, but I felt constricted in the tub. There wasn’t enough room to move around, and when you’re having a baby unmedicated, you want to move around! Plus, it was so hot that I was nauseous the entire time. When it came time to push, I just wanted to get out of the water.
My pictures, on the other hand, were great. I loved that I had the water birth and that my daughter came out as comfy as could be. Seriously, she didn’t cry at all and the doctors had to wiggle her foot to finally get her to say something. The water was her haven .

I also worried with how much blood there was that tub would never possibly be clean again.
