Infertility affects one in six couples in America. Only half, or five million of them will be helped by medical means. For the others, the problem is long term. Women who are infertile may not only grieve the childless state, but must also incorporate the inability to have a child into their sexual identity.

The data collected in this study tends to show that the bath has improved the experience of pregnancy and delivery, particularly for women of the pathological group, and among those mostly for primiparas. Their experience often comes fairly close to that of the normal group. We can suggest that the bath has a relaxing, a reassuring and an analgesic effect which provides favourable conditions for a satisfactory delivery even in pathological cases, where women could otherwise have been overwhelmed with anxiety.
