Researchs says that water births are good!

A new article on ORGYN.COM states that water births have excellent outcomes in low-risk women. Now it's proven officially that women who give birth while immersed in a tub of water have shorter labors, shorter births, less need for pain medication and less episiotomies. And the birth outcomes are at least as good as those of women who give birth on dry land.

Now let's hope that the Jerusalem hospitals will pick up on this, and install tubs in every room and actually allow women to give birth in them!
