We were absolutely delighted when we saw this scene from episode 2 of BBC’s fabulous “Riot Women”.
What’s striking about this scene is the complete sense of ease shared by everyone present.
The mother is buoyant, relaxed and able to move freely in the warm water.
The midwife and partner are close at her side, stable, comfortable and fully involved.
One of the most distinctive features of our pools is the extra-wide rim, which allows attendants to tuck their legs underneath and rest their forearms comfortably on top.
Midwives and partners can sit on birth balls, which give them flexible, active support.
The combination of a wide rim, concave outer panel and dynamic seating allows attendants to maintain close contact and freedom of movement without strain or risk of injury.
They can easily lean forward, rest and adjust their position while staying balanced and comfortable.
For the mother, this means constant, reassuring presence from those supporting her.
For attendants, it means hours of comfort without fatigue – something other water birth pools simply can’t offer.
The other striking thing about this video is just how good this old pool – which was installed over 20 years ago looks.
A fine testament to the quality and durability of our water birth pools!
