Since the first of April, five pregnant women have given birth in water at Helsingborg Hospital. Midwife Malin Heimdahl hopes for even greater pressure on pregnant women.
"It's great that we can offer this," she says. "In terms of material, it's like a birth 'on land' and what we use is the same as in a water birth. It's just water. Nor should we complicate matters. What we have seen to prevent stretch marks is heat and moisture," says Malin.
