A member asked:

Hi i'm 34 wks pregnant and am aiming for a water birth, everyone is telling me to not have one is this unrealistic to achieve at 17 ?

Hard to say: You are not planning a shower or remodeling your kitchen. If your baby had a vote, it would ask you to find the best help possible to get born healthy, If that means a water birth, fine, but I find few that are practiced enough in the method to remove the risks involved. Done well, that might give you bragging rights, done poorly and baby may have a bad outcome. I find it a poor choice at any age.
