I was induced with my first and after four hours of pushing and vomiting, she finally came out. I was close to needing a c-section. 21 months later, I went into labor with my son and did most of the work at home(unbeknownst to me). My son was born a mere twenty minutes after arriving at the hospital. Needless to say, this was completely natural. I was out and about within an hour and even changed my own sheets on the hospital bed. I felt great and healed quickly. Another twenty one months later I has my second daughter, also naturally. This one came so quickly she was born in the car on our way to the hospital. Healing was even quicker this time around and since she was smaller than the other two, I didn't even have any tearing. My recommendation based on my own experiences would be to- if possible, let nature take it's course. If you absolutely don't have to be induced, don't. I had the same experience.

Baby is in water while in utero so, no, a water birth does not wash off the vernix. The sort of bath to avoid is the kind using rubbing, wiping, soap, cleansers, etc. Just water is not a problem.
