Water Birth in the Caribbean: Risks & Realities


Question
I've heard about giving birth in the Caribbean in sea water. Is that really possible? Where do I find links for that? I am due on October 26th 2005 and do not want to give birth in childbirth centers or hospitals. But I want a water birth if possible.

Answer
I suppose it is possible, I have never heard of it nor would I suggest it.
I don't think bleeding anywhere there are sharks is a good idea.  Not to mention it would not be very clean, and can you imagine how bad salt water would burn if you tore? OUCH!
I would probably consider another location.  Good luck and Congrats!
