Water birth is the process of laboring in or giving birth in a tub of warm water. This method of giving birth allows the birther to be more relaxed and create an environment that is beneficial to baby too! At the Orchid Nest, we provide birthing tubs at the following local hospitals Boca Raton Regional Hospital, West Boca Medical, Good Samaritan Hospital, St. Mary’s Medical Center and Wellington Regional. If you need a birthing tub at a hospital that isn’t listed, let us know and we will be more than willing to discuss the situation with their administration. You can also rent a tub for use at home!

Creates a soothing and relaxing environment
The environment that you chose to have your child in can make a huge difference in your birthing experience. Having a water birth/labor can give you privacy and allow you to listen to your natural birthing instincts.
Immersion in water has been proven to help prevent medical interventions.
Giving birth can be a key life experience. Sometimes, the birthing process doesn’t go as planned and emergency c-sections and other medical intervention might have to be arranged. Laboring in water decreases the likelihood of interventions.
Increased privacy and autonomy that promotes more comfortable and more comfortable birthing.
Having a water birth/labor gives you the freedom to move around and promotes a relaxed birthing environment in which you have full capabilities to listen to your body. By facilitating movement, privacy, and emotional and physical relaxation it can reduce the length of labor by encouraging the release of labor hormones. One of the most important labor hormones, Oxytocin flows best when a one feels safe, comfortable and supported. The environment of a water can help the body to use its natural pain relief.
