Writing.

1. Nurses have a great risk of infection with water birth. _C_

3. The mother’s anxiety is reduced in water. ____
4. Water births cause delays if emergency treatment is needed. ____

6. There is a risk of the baby breathing water into its lungs. ____
7. Bleeding is difficult to monitor. ____
8. The mother can change position more easily in water. ____

 

A
Water birth is becoming increasingly popular and more and more hospitals are making this option available to women. However, it is important for women to be aware that there are potential problems as well as benefits before opting for a water birth.

 

B
The main benefit of a water birth is that it makes labour more comfortable. It is easier for the woman to move around, which gives her a feeling of control and therefore makes her feel more relaxed and less anxious. The reduced pain of water birth also lowers anxiety. For this reason, being in water lowers the blood pressure, which avoids a range of complications.

 

C
On the negative side, it is difficult to monitor the woman accurately during a water birth, so it is not suitable for high-risk pregnancies. Also, it is easier for waterborne pathogens to be transferred from mother to baby – or to medical staff. In addition to this, although being in water reduces the mother’s pain, it can also weaken the contractions. Another drawback is the risk of hypothermia unless water temperature is carefully monitored. Finally, the risk of heavy blood loss is increased in water, as bleeding is difficult to measure underwater.

D


Despite these disadvantages, both patients and medical staff are very positive about water birth and many women opt to do it again for subsequent children. With more training and facilities, the limitations of water birth could be reduced.
