Water delivery, baby!
Childbirth need not be associated with indescribable pain, insists Divya Deswal, a childbirth educator who works in a south Delhi hospital. She says this with confidence because she has recently helped deliver many babies through a rather unconventional but relatively painless method -- water birth.

Delhi-based Anjali Swarup, 32, would agree. She opted for water birth in mid-March last year for her second child, Shivantika, after attending Divya's class on childbirth preparation at a private hospital. The labour pains during her first delivery had lasted a whole day. "It was very tough; I had then taken epidural anaesthesia. So when I heard about water birth from a friend in America, who had all her three babies in water, I decided to go for it," she says.
