EBB 300 - Evidence on Waterbirth

EBB 300 - Evidence on Waterbirth

Is waterbirth safe? Are there any randomized, controlled trials on this subject? What are the benefits and risks of waterbirth? And if the evidence shows that waterbirth is a safe and beneficial form of childbirth… then why do so many hospitals "ban" this practice? And how can you access a waterbirth if that is something you are interested in?

Today's podcast episode is chock full of research from our peer-reviewed Evidence Based Birth® Signature Article: The Evidence on Waterbirth.
