Water births

Video: Using water during birth

Some women find water to be such an excellent pain relief that they choose to give birth in water. However, this may not be advised for all women and your midwife will be able to assist you with making a decision that is suited to you and your baby.

Our staff at Salisbury District Hospital have long been well regarded for the quality of care and treatment they provide for our patients and for their innovation, commitment and professionalism. This has been recognised in a wide range of achievements and it is reflected in our award of NHS Foundation Trust status. This is afforded to hospitals that provide the highest standards of care.
