Women's Healthcare Unit Offers Waterbirths

Perry Memorial Hospital’s Women’s Healthcare Unit now offers expecting mothers the opportunity to experience water labor and/or birth in our modern birthing tub. This gentle birth choice provides greater comfort and mobility for mother and reduces pressure on her abdomen. The water relaxes all body muscles and promotes deeper relaxation. Immersion reduces opposition to gravity and supports the mother’s weight so her energy can be used for contractions. Learn more about how you can give yourself and your baby the wonderful gift of a gentle, joyous water birth. Call the Women’s Healthcare Unit at 815-876-2282.
