“I knew the water would be all I would need… I relaxed and gently breathed my baby down… It was the perfect birth experience and a life event I will always treasure.”

Every water birth is a sacred story. Whether you gave birth in your own tub at home or held space as a doula, midwife, or nurse—your experience matters. And your voice could be the one that helps someone else feel ready, brave, and supported.

At Waterbirth International, we believe in the power of storytelling to heal, educate, and inspire. By sharing your journey, you become part of a living archive that honors the beauty and physiology of gentle, empowered birth.

 We’re especially grateful for stories that reflect the diversity of water birth experiences around the world—including hospital births, home births, VBACs, and first births.

To contribute:

• Simply fill out the form  with your story and contact info.

• If you have photos or videos to include, please ensure you have permission to share them and upload them with your submission.

Your words may be featured on our website or social media to inspire others across the globe. 

Thank you for adding your voice to this global ripple of compassion, knowledge, and transformation.
