If you’re scrolling through birth content and it feels like everyone is having a water birth… but deep down, you actually feel more comfortable birthing on land, that’s totally okay.
Water birth can be a beautiful option, but it is not the end-all-be-all of birth.
There is something incredibly powerful about a mother finding the position, environment, and support that make her feel safe and comfortable.
Birthing on land can be just as beautiful. Just as peaceful. Just as empowering. Just as memorable!
You don’t have to choose water because it’s what you see most often online. You don’t have to recreate someone else’s birth to have a beautiful birth of your own.
Maybe you want the birth tub nearby but never get in. Maybe you love standing, kneeling, squatting, leaning over the bed, or moving around freely. Maybe you simply feel more comfortable with your feet on solid ground.
Really, there is no “right” way to labor and birth.
Your birth doesn’t have to look like the births filling your feed to be a beautiful, empowering experience. Choose what feels right for you — and let your birth be your own.
