A comparison of maternal and neonatal outcomes between water immersion during labor and conventional labor and delivery / Kathleen Leask Capitulo - January/ February 2016. - MCN : The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing 41 : 1, page 66 .
Here, Capitulo comments on the study by Liu et al that compares maternal and neonatal outcomes of women who underwent water immersion during the first stage of labor with those who underwent conventional labor and delivery. She says there were no differences in length of labor stages or infection rates. All mothers in the water immersion labor were satisfied. This study suggests that laboring in water offers low-risk women the opportunity to experience decreased labor pain, risk of cesarean birth, and postpartum stress urinary incontinence rates without adverse events for mother or baby.
