Context:

  • Water birth is an alternative birthing method gaining interest.
  • Understanding women's experiences and psychosomatic reactions is crucial for improving perinatal care.
  • Limited data exists on the specific characteristics and outcomes of women opting for underwater delivery.

Purpose:

  • To characterize women who choose underwater birth.
  • To investigate the influence of warm water immersion on psychosomatic reactions during labor and delivery.
  • To compare demographic and educational backgrounds of women opting for water birth versus traditional delivery.
