    If i ever have to make this decision again (at this stage not planning on anymore) I would choose a water birth but in a hospital that can deal with complications if any arise....

    After 2 c sections I am not sure if i even have the option of a water birth.....

    I did vote, homebirth (of course) and both times did want a water birth, but it kind of never happened, not really sure why, i was just not attracted to water the way I thought i was going to be.

    I can't really vote, I would say a hospital birth, but I don't count that as a 'hospital bed' vote.

    Considering all I ever really talk about on bubhub is either water birth's or breastfeeding...

    I of course voted Water birth!

    I'm also just a bit confuzzled.
    I understand the aim of the thread, but do you consider water birth as in the shower? bath, birthing bath, etc.
    A lot of women give birth in the shower at the hospital. And a lot of women give birth in birthing baths at the hospital.
    And a lot of women give birth in birthing centres or at home and in their own birthing baths which you can buy proper ones of online.
