Pregnant Kali Koechlin Has Chosen Water Birth
The actress has planned to give birth in Goa and will go for water delivery. “I want to be away from city life, noise and pollution and be in the calming lap of nature during my pre- and post-delivery weeks,” she said. Kalki is perhaps the first Bollywood actor who has opted for a water birth. Reportedly, she was also born through the process of water birthing, which is why she has decided to opt for the same when it’s her time to deliver.
Moms who desire a natural childbirth, sometimes choose ‘water birth.’ It is the process of giving birth in a tub of warm water and is very soothing, comforting, and relaxing. Waterbirth provides an environment similar to the amniotic sac. The buoyancy promotes more efficient uterine contractions and improved blood circulation resulting in less pain for the mother, and more oxygen for the baby. Immersion in water also helps in lowering the high blood pressure of mother which may occur due to anxiety.

I am more deliberate, slower, more patient. When motherhood comes eventually, it brings with it a new consciousness to your sense of a person. I still want to work but it is less about the rat race and more about nurturing oneself through one’s work. It becomes about infusing concentration and energy inward.”
