Waterbirth: Evidence & Insights
Is water the key to physiological birth?
Water has long been used as a source of comfort and calm in labour - but what does the evidence say about waterbirth? In this free webinar, I explore the research, benefits, and practical realities of using water during labour and birth. You’ll discover how warm water supports relaxation, reduces intervention rates, and helps protect the natural flow of physiological birth.
What You’ll Discover in This Webinar
This webinar discusses the significance of water birth, exploring its physiological benefits, the role of midwifery, and the importance of patient empowerment during labor. I share my experiences and insights on how water can enhance the birthing process, are vaginal examinations needed and the need for individualised care in maternity settings.
The conversation emphasises the transformative nature of water birth and the importance of supporting women and birthing people in making informed choices about their birthing experiences.
