Water birth versus home birth

Transcription: 
I had both a water birth and a home birth, in bed. Basically, I think the difference is, for me, water birth was so relaxing. I think water is a naturally coming fluid, and the baby is actually in water, in the amniotic sack, and then birthing into water where its a really natural and soothing experience for mom and baby. I really enjoyed that. It was so calming and relaxing. You can't always plan a water birth. I wanted to have my third birth as a water birth, but it just didn't happen because the contractions were slowing down in the water, so I had to get out of the tub and walk around to help speed up the contractions. I ended up birthing my third child back in bed.
