It's all about working with a professional who respects and can accomodate your choices. My midwives' motto is, "Your baby, your way."

My shower labor was with midwives (and I got to see all three in my room that day) in a hospital. The hospital was installing the tub because it was something the patients wanted. My midwives firmly supported water labor, but the hospital policy remained no births in the tub. Chill out for a while, but out when the baby's coming out.
