At last in Pérez Zeledón, there is a possibility for future mothers to bring their kids to this world in a relaxing, warm and appropriate setting to start the affective bonding that will last forever.

   For Santiago Masís (M.D.), specialist in Gynecology and Obstetrics, the special pool at Clínica Labrador is appropriate for future mothers to give birth due to its water temperature (between 34 and 38 Celsius degrees). This helps the future mother get relaxed and dilate the first 5 cm. This fact speeds up the rest of the labor process.
   
   A hormone released by the body when a woman is in labor (Oxytocin) starts working faster when the mother relaxes, and this makes the childbirth last an average of an hour. One of the biggest advantages of water birth is that the baby is born in a setting similar to the one inside the mother’s womb. Once the baby is born, the doctor goes through all the regular procedures to finish the birth.
   
   In addition to all this, “El Labrador” has the appropriate equipment and professionals to assist an optimal childbirth in any condition, even if it is vaginal or cesarean. Moreover, there is always the possibility for the mother to choose if she wants childbirth without pain through the application of epidural anesthesia.
   
   Once again, Clínica Labrador becomes a pioneer in the local health area by putting at service of future parents this interesting option that has become popular around the world due to the many benefits it provides for both mother and child.
