Bath birth
A bath birth is a pleasant way of giving birth, because of the warm water. This creates a safe and relaxing atmosphere that can help you between contractions. The warm water also helps the muscles to relax better and this will help with the pain. Most women are very positive about bath birthing.
Costs
The more you relax through the water, the more endorphins your body produces. You can compare this to a painkiller, this allows you to cope better with the contractions and the dilation is generally better. You can discuss wishes and possibilities with us.
Our practice is happy to supervise a water birth at home. The Birth Pool PRO from Birth Pool in a Box can be rented at our practice.
Pregnant women can also give birth in the bath at the Flevo Hospital. In one of the maternity suites, a large double bath has been installed as an extra service. The bath is spacious enough to relax during dilation contractions, even with the partner present. During pushing, there is usually a need for some support. In the bath, if you like, you can sit across the bath while pushing so that you have enough support for your feet.
Cup
An active and natural birth starts with the right support. With the inflatable CUB (Comfortable Upright Birth) birthing chair, you can easily assume an upright position, like sitting relaxed, leaning while squatting, or leaning forward during contractions. The CUB is lightweight, quick to inflate, and easy to take with you, making it perfect for both a home birth and an (outpatient) hospital birth.
The benefits of the CUB:
-
30% more pelvic space: An upright position gives your baby more room, helps them descend, and speeds up dilation and the pushing phase.
-
Optimal comfort: The soft, flexible material moves with your body and reduces pressure on your back and pelvis.
-
Maximum freedom of movement: You can easily and intuitively change positions.
-
Versatile use: Lightweight and quick to inflate, ideal for both home and hospital use.
Squatting platform
The squatting platform is a handy tool. Its ergonomic design gives you a safe, stable base to squat, kneel, or lean in whichever position feels most natural to you at that moment. This helps you work with your body’s natural strength and use gravity to help your baby be born.
Why moms choose the squatting platform:
-
Listen to your body: Move and change positions however you want, without the restrictions of braces.
-
Reduce interventions: Research shows that upright positions can speed up dilation and shorten the pushing phase.
-
Your partner can easily come to you and give you the physical and emotional support you need, without awkward positions.
-
Keep your comfort: The soft, smooth surface and ergonomic support make getting into and holding your preferred position much more enjoyable.
