“When asked about the history of birthing pools in hospitals, I mention the day when Keith Brainin realised that special bath tubs might be designed and commercialised to meet the needs of labouring women.”
Michel Odent – water birth pioneer, obstetrician and author

“The new pool has been specially designed to be easily accessible, with improved seating and design so women can sit on the side or lean over and adapt different positions during labour. Multi-colour lighting adds  to the ambiance of the room helping to create a more relaxed environment.” Sophie Moss – Senior Midwife, Royal Stoke’s Maternity Centre

When we introduced water birth  in 2017  at Fernandez Hospital, we choose Active Birth Pools. We have had no cause for regret. As an obstetrician, Thank you, Keith Brainin for getting us started on this journey.
Evita Fernandez FRCOG, Chairperson Fernandez Foundation

“The best pools for the Birth Olympics hands down! Makes me want to have another baby just to experience it!  I’ve both delivered and caught babies in your pool. They’re comfortable, provide stability, are simple to clean and midwife and dad friendly. Just a dream all the way around.
Alicia Witt Director BirthPros.com, CEO at ArizonaMidwife.com

“I have worked intensely with Keith when we developed a birthing bed together. He knows what he wants and needs and can define if a product meets the endusers’ criteria or not. He handles a very high standard and is creative. He is very straight and a deal is a deal. He knows the market and every product there is and never sits still. What I mean by that is staying on top of new developments to keep his products at the highest possible standard, as that is the ambition always.”
Tom Smit Export manager at Score BV
