What is the difference between water birth and other types of birth?

Just do a normal: One, water birth in my opinion is a racket, I have done over 5000 deliveries, and in my opinion water does not add any value and has the potential to cause a lot of problems or problems can be missed because of the water birth, obviously there are some people who have a different opinion.

Cult following: Some value "special" more than safe, and want their delivery to be an event like a bridal shower.
