Water Birth at Vitale Hospital

What is Water Birth?

Water birth is a natural birthing process where the mother spends the first stage of labor, and sometimes the delivery itself, in a warm water pool. The warm water helps relax the mother, ease labor pains, and create a more calming environment for the delivery. This method is increasingly popular among mothers who want a more natural and less medicalized birthing experience.

At Vitale Hospital in Turkey, water birth is conducted in a controlled and safe environment under the supervision of experienced obstetricians and midwives. The process combines modern medical care with the natural benefits of water to ensure the safety and comfort of both the mother and the baby.

Who is Suitable for Water Birth?

Water birth is suitable for expectant mothers who:

Have a low-risk pregnancy with no complications.
Are in good overall health and have received approval from their obstetrician.
Desire a more natural birthing experience with minimal medical intervention.
Feel comfortable with the idea of laboring and delivering in water.

Women with high-risk pregnancies, multiple pregnancies, or certain medical conditions may not be eligible for water birth. At Vitale Hospital, every mother undergoes a thorough evaluation to ensure that water birth is a safe option for her specific situation.

Benefits of Water Birth

Water birth offers numerous benefits for both the mother and the baby:

The buoyancy of water helps reduce the mother’s weight, easing pressure on her body and reducing pain.

Warm water promotes relaxation, helping the mother conserve energy during labor.

Babies born in water experience a smoother transition from the womb to the outside world, as the water mimics the environment of the amniotic sac.

Water birth often results in fewer medical interventions, such as epidurals or episiotomies.

How is Water Birth Performed at Vitale Hospital?

Water birth at Vitale Hospital is conducted in a specially designed birthing pool, ensuring a safe and hygienic environment. The process involves the following steps:

Preparation

The mother is evaluated by the obstetrician to confirm her eligibility for water birth. The birthing pool is filled with warm water and maintained at a comfortable temperature.

Active Labor

The mother enters the pool during the first stage of labor. The warm water helps relax her muscles, reduce pain, and promote a sense of calm.

Delivery

Depending on the mother’s preference and the obstetrician’s recommendation, the baby may be delivered in the water. The transition from water to air is gentle for the baby.

Post-Delivery Care

The baby is immediately brought to the mother for skin-to-skin contact. Both mother and baby are monitored to ensure their well-being.
