Hi everyone,

I know every birth is different, but I’d really love to hear from mums who’ve experienced both a water birth and a non-water birth.

With my first, everything happened so quickly that I didn’t even get a chance to look at water or any form of pain relief. I’ve been told second births can be quicker, so I’m trying to think ahead this time.

If possible, I’d like to try a water birth, but I’m wondering—did you find it worth it? Did it make things any easier or more manageable?

I’m currently 27 weeks and starting to think I should get a birth plan in place. I haven’t been stressing about it too much, but I feel like now is the time to start preparing.

Any experiences or advice would be really appreciated!
