Researchers found no higher risks for babies or mothers in water births compared to non-water births, based on a study involving 73,229 low-risk pregnancy records.
Water births are considered a safe alternative to births outside of water, with no increased risks of severe tears, antibiotic need, or neonatal deaths, according to the study's lead researcher.
The results of this study on the safety of water births have implications for thousands of women in the UK and worldwide who may opt for immersion in water during labor.
