We had planned a water birth, but my mw wasn't available and her partner mw didn't know so didn't arrange it... but then Daniel was born 25 mins after arriving at the hospital so wouldn't have happened anyhow.
We asked for the umbilical cord not to be cut until it stopped pulsating, it was cut about 20minutes later so we has heaps os skin on skin time.
I had a water birth both times but at a birthing unit so things are a lot more relaxed there. It was a spa bath type thing so they just topped it up with warm water when it was time for baby to come out (I was so hot so wasn't too impressed). Cold flannels for ya face and neck are so lovely if your a person who gets hot. I think everything else has been covered so good luck
