"Your water birth pools have revolutionised birth"
Caitlin Wilson - Senior Midwife
“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
“I want to express my admiration for the brilliant design of your water birth pool. I believe your innovation is invaluable and holds significant importance for the field. As an innovator myself with a patent related to pelvic muscle strengthening, I truly admire how your design considers both midwife and mother, making it unique and practical.” Parisa Hadavi Bavili – Midwife, Anatomist, and Innovator in Healthcare
“The best pools for the Birth Olympics hands down! 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
“The pool has been an amazing addition to our unit and is much less labour intensive than the inflatable one. With its ergonomic design and easy-to-clean surfaces it’s perfect for facilitating water births in a hospital environment.”
