Water births are becoming popular

Six years ago, the University Hospital of Torrejón de Ardoz became a pioneer in natural methods of giving birth; since then, about a dozen others have followed suit

Among the principal advantages are that it is less stressful for both mother and baby and that less medication is involved

:: RUBÉN CAÑIZARES In November 2010, the Spanish Min- istry of Health approved the ‘Strat- egy of Attention to Normal Birth’, a manual for clinical practitioners which encourages less intervention and medication in births. Among other recommendations in this guide, which was produced in collaboration with the World Health Organisation, it aims to re- duce the use of some procedures which have been considered nor- mal until now, such as epidural an- aesthetics, episotomies, shaving, enemas and breaking the waters. It also encourages giving birth un- derwater, which is quite unusual in Spain, because “immersion in warm water moderately reduces pain, facilitates relaxation and re- duces the use of analgesics when carried out during the active phase of the first stage of labour (more than four centimetres dilated).” Since then, the health service has improved its protocols and women in this country are now more aware of the possibility of Photos showing some of the phases of a birth in the water. :: S.R.

Ruth, a Par- tido Popular MP in Cantabria, stresses that “the Senior Sports Council is working hard on behalf of women”, but she can’t hide the fact that there is still a barrier which she would love to break through. “We have taken giant steps for- ward in women’s sport, especially in the Olympics, where we do really well, but it seems that in the four years afterwards everyone just for- gets about us,” she says. “I believe people like women’s sport and we represent our country as well as the men.” She is convinced that social media is helping women’s sport a great deal these days: “it’s like a shop window for us,” she explains. Ruth is one of the more visible faces in the competitive eclosion of women in Spain, together with names like Mireia Belmonte, Carolina Marín, Garbiñe Muguruza, the rugby team, which were also European champi- ons last year... It is a long list, and some of the information is striking. The women basketball players have spent five years winning dif- ferent competitions and have won 12 medals since 1993, the same num- ber as the acclaimed men’s team dur- ing the same period. Even more than that: women won nine of the 17 med- als achieved by the Spanish athletes in Rio de Janeiro. Four years previ- ously, at the Olympic Games in Lon- don, women won 11 of the 17 Span- ish medals. Fantastic audiences Eli Pinedo is a former player with the handball team. She retired a year ago after winning some important inter- national medals, including the bronzes in the World Championships in 2011 and the Olympics in London in 2012. “With women’s sport we already know that you have to do more with less in order to be visible. I think women athletes are doing things well, they are achieving important suc- cesses. Women’s sport is becoming more popular, but we still have fewer resources and less institutional sup- port. We are moving forwards, but there is still a lot to do before we are equal. I have played in finals where there has been nobody at all from our country there to watch, except our families,” she says. “With every suc- cess we achieve, we take a small step forward.
