How can I aid relaxation during labor?

consider water

Water greatly reduces the perception of pain
during labor...consider the shower, tub or
jacuzzi while in active labor. It can also
help you relax enough that labor often moves
along more quickly.

I will be birthing at Mercy San Juan, Sacramento, California. I have been told that most of the doctors there do not do underwater birthing.
Why do doctors frown on this so much?
This is my 5th child & I would really love to try it.
