Abstract:
Objective: Evaluate perinatal and neonatal outcomes comparing a water birth to regular childbirth in low-risk women. File and methods: Retrospective analysis of a set of childbirths that took place over a given period of time in the hospital and health center of Havířov. We compared a set of low-risk women that had given a water birth to a selected control group of low-risk women that had given regular childbirth. We evaluated statistical comparability, as well as perinatal and neonatal outcomes in both sets. Results: From 1. 1. 2020 to 28. 2. 2021, 1,083 women gave birth in the delivery department of Havířov hospital; from this set 122 were water births (11.3%). In our study, we only included 101 water deliveries (we designed our study to monitor low-risk births in order to be able to statistically correlate our fi ndings; 21 water deliveries were excluded from our study due to perinatal risk factors – gestational diabetes and induced deliveries). We selected 60 low-risk women for our control group. Both sets of women were compared and we ruled out any statistically signifi cant diff erences in age, education, body mass index, number of births given, gestation week at time of labor, number of smokers, premature rupture of membranes, women with previous history of one cesarean section, becoming pregnant by in vitro fertilization, presence of streptokoka skupiny B, and fetal weight. Water birth does not aff ect the Apgar score, neonatal adaptation to extra-uterine life, umbilical blood pH decrease, complications of infection, need of intensive care, and neonatal mortality. In the water birth set, we found increased occurrence of non-infectious conjunctivitis, treatable by regular eye drops without antibio tics. We have not observed the eff ect of water birth on duration of the fi rst and second stage of labor, total amount of uterotonics used, blood loss determined by the obstetrician, and uterine hypotonia. In the water birth group, we observed a prolonged third stage of delivery, lesser need for pharmacological stimulation (augmentation) of labor, notably lower use of analgesics, lower occurrence of birth injuries, shorter in-patient time, and more frequent bonding. Conclusions: We discovered that water birth does not increase the risk for mother and neonate in low-risk women. Despite initial concerns, our outcomes and mother satisfaction have clearly shown that water births are not only a temporary whim, but probably a new integral part of our obstetric care. Key words: water birth – analgesia with water – childbirth – perinatal and neonatal outcomes

Abstract:
ABSTRACTIn this birth story, Katherine shares that she wanted an unmedicated birth. She planned a hospital birth with a midwife. During her pregnancy, she hired a doula and she and her husband, Corey, attended both natural childbirth classes and a natural comfort measures class. Katherine had an intense labor but was able to relax between contractions, and with the support of her husband and doula, she managed to cope with increasingly difficult contractions. Her commitment and hard work during labor, and the emotional and physical support she received, helped her achieve the unmedicated birth she wanted. Katherine and her husband welcomed their daughter, Clara Mae, into the world after 10.5 hours of labor.

Abstract:
Atrazine, a common water contaminant in the U.S., has been associated with adverse birth outcomes in previous studies. This study aimed to determine if atrazine concentrations in drinking water are associated with adverse birth outcomes including small for gestational age (SGA), term low birth weight (term LBW), very low birth weight (VLBW), preterm birth (PTB), and very preterm birth (VPTB). This study included 14,445 live singleton births from Ohio communities served by 22 water systems enrolled in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Atrazine Monitoring Program between 2006 and 2008. Mean gestational and trimester-specific atrazine concentrations were calculated. Significantly increased odds of term LBW birth was associated with atrazine exposure over the entire gestational period (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.10, 1.45), as well as the first (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.08, 1.34) and second trimesters (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.07, 1.20) of pregnancy. We observed no evidence of an association between atrazine exposure via drinking water and SGA, VLBW, PTB, or VPTB. Our results suggest that atrazine exposure is associated with reduced birth weight among term infants and that exposure to atrazine in drinking water in early and mid-pregnancy may be most critical for its toxic effects on the fetus.

Abstract:
<p><strong>OBJECTIVES: </strong>Demonstrate maternal and neonatal complications reported in women giving birth in water birth compared to those conventional land births.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong><strong> </strong>An observational retrospective analysis of the incidence of maternal and neonatal outcomes among 358 women who deliver their newborns throughout conventional vaginal delivery and 308 women giving birth in water during 2013 in Quito, Ecuador. Maternal Age, Educational attainment, Neonatal weight, height, APGAR scores, vaginal tearing and the need to resuscitate a newborn were the variables matched for both groups.</p><p><strong>RESULTS: </strong>Among 308 women who were scheduled to deliver their newborns in water, 73% successfully culminate in water vaginal births while 26 % required a C-section. Among the conventional birth group, only 47% ended their pregnancy vaginally as planned and 53% required a C-section.</p><p>The use of oxytocin (RR: 12.9 CI 7.9 to 20.9 p&lt;0.0001) and intentional episiotomy (RR: 13.9 CI 5.1 to 37.9 p&lt;0.0001) are much higher among conventional birth, however, the risk to have a vaginal tearing during water labor is 3 times higher than conventional birth (RR: 2.9 CI 2.12 to 4.2 p&lt;0.0001). In the conventional delivery cohort 3 neonatal deaths were reported while water birth no deaths reported, however, no causality of these deaths was explored due to the absence of information.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong><strong> </strong>We conclude that water birth is an effective method to deliver children as long as there is an adequate understanding of the risk and benefits of this procedure. Planning a water delivery seems to reduce the risk of using prophylactic uterotonic medication, prophylactic episiotomies and to perform unplanned C-sections. Due to higher incidence of vaginal tears, strict perianal protection during the third stage of labor is recommended.</p>

Abstract:
The 2014 objection to birth in water voiced by both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) in ACOG Bulletin #594 on immersion in water during labor and birth is nothing new. The Committee on Fetus and Newborn published the very same opinion in 2005, based on a case report that was published in 2002 in the journal Pediatrics. What has changed since 2002 is a growing body of evidence that reports on the safety and efficacy of labor and birth in water. This article reviews the retrospective literature on water birth and explains newborn physiology and the protective mechanisms that prevent babies from breathing during a birth in water.

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives: to describe the perineal outcomes of women who had delivered in water and out of water. Methods: a cross-sectional and quantitative study developed in a public hospital in Setúbal, Portugal. The population was of women who participated in the "Water Birth Project" in the period from 2011 to 2014, which gave birth in water and out of water. 104 women were selected according to established inclusion criteria. The groups were compared according to the following variables: demographics, obstetric information, delivery care and perineal outcomes. The data were analyzed in the Stata(r) software, with descriptive and bivariate statistics (chi-square and Fisher's test). Results: the medical records of 73 women who gave birth in water and 31 women who gave birth out of water were studied. Water deliveries were significantly associated with fewer perineal lacerations, lower rates of episiotomy, and shorter delivery time. Conclusions: the results of the study suggest that childbirth in water has a protective effect against severe third or fourth degree perineal tears, during fetal expulsion in water.
