So long as there are no medical contra-indications, any woman is a possible candidate for a waterbirth. Once health concerns are set aside, it is important to think (and be realistic) about your philosophies, thoughts, and fears relating to birth. This realistic appraisal will be helpful in assessing whether you might be a realistic candidate for a waterbirth. It is best to set-up an appointment with a waterbirth consultant/doula.
