For hospital births

latest numbers only from 2016:
Bundesauswertung zum Erfassungsjahr 2016 (iqtig.org)
search for „Unterwassergeburt“ (page 65): n= 9.432 women have been in water during birth (1,79% of 525.472 hospital births in 2016.
You don’t find numbers only for midwifery units.

> I am sure there are others on here such as Kim who may be able to offer more but my understanding is that there is not national data in the UK collated of the numbers of waterbirths to compare. There may be in other countries. The NMPA do not collect this data I believe nor do the ONS capture waterbirths. The review by the Oxford Brookes team sent by Kim maybe useful but you could also contact them directly to find out more.
