As someone else said, you have obviously not tried it and it seems to work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Jockel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, December 07, 2002 3:10 PM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] birthing in dam water
Hi, I just have to give my two bob's worth regarding water births... I think water births are the STUPIDEST idea since the Irish decided to land on the sun at night. What happens when you push a ball under water? Its bouyancy makes it pop UP A baby has bouancy too. So unless the mother is willing to wear a snorkel and mask and be upside down, pointing her perineum at the surface, the baby is fighting bouancy and the uterus is fighting bouancy... stupid. Get out of the water and onto a birthing chair where you belong and let Gravity do the work Water for fish..
