A waterbirth is a natural, gentle, pain-reducing,
fulfilling, and empowering birthing experience. Mother and infant
start out their new life together in a relaxing and deeply familiar
environment: warm water. Albuquerque Homebirth utilizes tub kits
for waterbirth. The tub kit is included in our homebirth services
or you can purchase one for your own use. See our waterbirthing
section for more information about the benefits of home waterbirths.
Used in many hospitals and birthing centers across the country!
 
Comfort
"Since I'm six feet tall, the Dolphin
Circle Watertub Kit was much more comfortable for
me than the bathtub, and deeper, too. My contractions in the water
were much more manageable than out - the difference was incredible!
I felt more in control of my labor process. As long as I was in
the tub, my contractions were less painful. I wouldn't want to have
a baby any other way!" - L.B.
Nodding
with my sleeping angel
"For us, a home waterbirth
was enormously satisfying. Labor is stressful enough. Rather than
dealing with the hassle of rushing to the hospital and managing
to get admitted, my husband was able to swiftly set up the tub
and I could relax in the warm water in the comfort and familiarity
of my own home. With the arrival of my midwife and her assistant,
I had full attention and no aggravation. Best of all my husband
was beside me at every moment. Although the labor was still wearying,
one contraction out of the tub was enough to convince me that
I would have been utterly exhausted with pain without the tub.
After the birth, my baby was never more than five feet from me,
and soon I could settle in my own bed, nodding with my sleeping
angel." - A&SB
Start
bonding as a family immediately
Laboring in the Dolphin Circle
Tub was wonderful. I felt like I was much more in control of my
contractions. Everything seemed to progress much faster than things
with my son, whom I had in the hospital. I loved being at home with
my husband and sons right after the birth. We were able to start
bonding as a family immediately. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Many successful
water births in the tub
Just a quick note to say
that the waterbirth pool is still working beautifully for us,
we have just helped our 7th mum have a wonderful birth
in water in the pool so far. We had thought about getting a permanent
pool/spa but we've found this design to be just perfect for the
mums we serve. In June we loaned it
to a 1st timer at home, she had one of those long arduous labours
that we see with primips but in the end the water was just wonderful
as usual. We literally have no tears (lacerations) the only mum
who tore had delivered out of water. I know that she would have
stretched better if only she'd used water. So thanks again for the
great spa, praying that we will have many more successful waterbirths.
Sunny greetings, - Kathy Neblett
