Water is the midwife’s epidural!! 😁

Interesting comparison of epidural and water immersion. NB groups were self-selected, which may have influenced results. "Spontaneous vaginal birth was almost 17 times more likely in the water immersion group [94.5% vs 50.6%] (OR = 16.866 [6.540, 43.480], p < 0.001), whereas the odds of having a cesarean birth were almost 40 times higher in the epidural group [0.7 vs 21.9%] (OR = 39.346 [3.610, 429.120], p < 0.001). The odds of having an intact perineum were more than two times higher for the water immersion group (OR = 2.606 [1.290, 5.250], p = 0.007), whereas having an episiotomy was more than eight times more likely for the epidural group [4.1 vs 26.1%] (OR = 8.307 [2.800, 24.610], p < 0.001). Newborns in the water immersion group showed a better 5 min Apgar score and umbilical cord arterial pH and lower rates in admissions at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Conclusions: Women choosing water immersion as an analgesic method were no more likely to experience adverse outcomes and presented better results than women choosing epidural analgesia."

Happy Mother’s Day to the mothers rocking babies in their arms, growing them beneath their hearts, loving them from afar, and preparing to welcome them soon. 🤍 This week, a mama bird laid her eggs right on my front door and it felt like the sweetest reminder of motherhood itself. The instinct to nurture, protect, prepare and create a safe place for new life is woven into all of creation. As a doula, I have the honor of witnessing that kind of love every day. The quiet strength of mothers. The waiting, the nesting, the sacrifice, the tenderness. Motherhood is powerful in every form and today I’m celebrating all the beautiful ways it shows up in this world. 🪺

Happy Mother’s Day from my little nest to yours.
