ACM’s updated position on use of water in labour

The Australian College of Midwives (ACM) has assessed the current evidence in relation to the safety of access to water immersion during labour and birth. Having reviewed the available evidence, it is ACM’s position that the current evidence does not support discontinuing the use of water in labour or of water immersion. This is especially true if the laboring woman is not suspected or confirmed as having contracted COVID-19.
