The effect of buoyancy that deep-water
immersion creates allows spontaneous movement of the mother. No one has
to help the mother get into a new position. She moves as her body and
the position of the baby dictate. Movement helps open the pelvis,
allowing the baby to descend. When a woman in labor relaxes in a warm
deep bath, free from gravity's pull on her body, with sensory
stimulation reduced, her body is less likely to secrete stress-related
hormones. This allows her body to produce the pain
inhibitors (endorphins) that complement labor.
Noradrenaline and catecholamines, the hormones that are released during stress, actually raise the blood pressure and can inhibit or slow labor. A laboring woman who is able to relax physically, is able to relax mentally as well.
