A Beautiful Water Birth in Tennessee

We're not going to lie to you, labour is hard work and those surges require you to focus to get through the pain. But, I assure you labour is not indefinite, there is an end and it comes with your beautiful and healthy baby in your arms. The key is to have many different ways to manage the contractions and to also remember each surge brings your baby closer to your arms.
