At Active Birth Pools, design is at the heart of everything we do.
Guided by user focussed, evidence-based ergonomic principles, we’ve spent decades refining the form and function of our water birth pools.
Each curve, contour, and detail is shaped by a deep understanding of how women move and give birth in water, and by how midwives work alongside them.
Our pools are designed not only to support mothers in comfort and freedom of movement, but also to safeguard midwives from risk, making their work safer, more comfortable and easier.
