How long the baby was in the water?
Babies who are born in a very short period of waterbirth in the water means that once the baby is born the whole body is less than 10 seconds a baby will be in the lift slowly from the water, but there are some who are still waiting for about 3 minutes until a gasping reflex on their new baby mengakatnya. When the baby is born, the placenta will support the baby by giving oxygen when the baby is still in the water because he was still attached to his mother. But if I personally usually I immediately mengakat the baby, because I personally think that babies should not be too long lived in the water because there is no guarantee that the umbilical cord will continue to throb and give oxygen. The longest I let the newborns stayed in the water is 1 or 2 minutes.
