Mother chooses a water birth: but instead of a simple pool, she decides to do it in the ocean
Nowadays, there are so many ways to choose from on how to deliver your baby. Having surpassed the olden days in which women usually gave birth at home, we have been accustomed to thinking of childbirth as something to do in a hospital, surrounded by specialized personnel who assist and support the mother in her delivery. For a while now, however, we have heard about new birthing techniques such as, for example, giving birth in water. By this we mean a planned and organized birthing event, in which a tub or swimming pool full of fresh water is made available for the pregnant woman.
The mother we want to tell you about opted for an even more unique choice, and her baby was born in some very special waters. Here is their story:
via New York Post
Josy Peukert and Benni Cornelius are a couple, originally from Germany, who moved to Central America many years ago - more specifically, they moved to Nicaragua. This is where they decided to start a family and this is where their 4 children were born. The woman, in all four cases, opted for a completely different types of childbirth methods: the first was born in a clinic, the second at home - where she took care of everything, and the third was also delivered at home - but this time, with the help from a midwife. And the fourth?
Disappointed by her previous experiences, Josy decided that her forth birth would take place in water. Not just any random body of water, but in the Pacific Ocean. You read that right - she and her husband went to a beautiful beach and performed the delivery by themselves, and provided video footage of this very special moment.
But apparently there is nothing to worry about, considering also - as Josy herself wrote in response to the many comments - that her child is fine and has not had any kind of adverse reactions to being born in salt water. But, after all, his mom and dad already knew in their hearts that everything would be fine and that their child would be born happy and healthy.
We just want to wish this little one all the joy possible and that his life will be as special as his birth.
