Using water for Labour and Birth
Contact: (0191) 282 4555 - Parent Education Secretary
Using warm water can help labour unfold in a natural and more manageable way. At the RVI we have two birthing pools that you can use either for pain relief in labour or to give birth.
During this session you will get the chance to talk to a midwife about the benefits of water in labour and we will visit the delivery suite to see one of the pool rooms if possible
This session is held on some Thursday afternoons and partners are most welcome. If you wish to come along please book early as spaces are limited. We are sorry we are not able to allow children to attend.
