This paper discusses the water birth experiences of women who delivered at The Family Birthing Center of Upland, California, from February, 1985 to June 1, 1989. Of the 831 who used warm water immersion during their labor, 483 gave birth in the water with good Apgar scores; and there was only one minor maternal infection. These results clearly suggest that water birth--with certain precautions--is not only a desirable alternative for many women, but also a safe and positive intrapartum intervention.
本文讨论了1985年2月至1989年6月1日在加利福尼亚州阿普兰家庭分娩中心分娩的妇女的水中分娩经历。在831名在分娩过程中使用温水浸泡的产妇中，有483名在水中分娩，阿氏评分良好；且仅出现一例轻微的产妇感染。这些结果清楚地表明，在采取某些预防措施的情况下，水中分娩不仅是许多女性理想的选择，也是一种安全且积极的产时干预措施。
