Customers Water Birth Testimonials
"Being a bloke I looked high and low for a lockable birth pool given the trouble a 3 year old could get into, when the pool arrived everything was well labelled (clearly with blokes in mind) the set up was quick and simple (again for blokes). The Born in Water team could not have been more helpful as baby was 2 weeks late. The pool was a massive success with mum and big brother (who learnt to swim!). Mum was so much more relaxed and the birth was so much easier (her wordss not mine!) that she might even be convinced to have another. I would recomend anyone to consider a home water birth and more importantly use Born in Water."
Chris, London.
"The warm water felt very soothing and comforting, as if being held in a warm embrace and was the dominant sensation for most of the labour (rather than pain and discomfort!). Even towards the end with strong contractions, the birthing pool, massage and a spot of gas-and-air made it all bearable and the contractions seem productive."
"I'm sure the birthing pool sped up with first stage of labour, which meant I wasn't exhausted by the time I got to the second stage. Although I didn't give birth in the water, I still think of Gabriel as a 'water baby'!
(Don't worry about space! we have a miniature Victorian terrace and I managed to have a futon mattress, sofa, water pool, 2 midwifes (and all their bags) and a partner in my front room with no trouble!"

"I would highly recommend a home water birth to anyone. I have precious memories of the birth of both my daughters but the pride I feel at how I coped with the second, all due to the water, is immense and the experience will never be forgotten I'm sure."
Annette
"I would recommend a home water birth to anyone who is considering the option. I do feel in hospital it can be easy to be swept along with the medicalisation of child birth and a relaxing home environment can be far more indusive to a more natural labour (if that is what you want)."
"I managed 2 babies with no pain relief other than the tens machine and the water and I don't consider myself to be particularly tough! In fact the water made both labours quite enjoyable, I could never imagine trying to push a baby out lying horizontally on a bed!."
Katy
"Before the birth Lucy could relax in the birthing pool in our own home, the water taking the weight and relaxing her muscles.
For the birth, Lucy gave birth naturally with no need for drugs.
Since the birth the whole family have enjoyed the birthing pool, and we kept it for a fifth week. This has helped Lucy to build up her strength and get fitter. Our little baby loved going back in the water to float, stretch out, breast feed and sleep a bit. A lot of our local midwives have visited to see the birthing pool, as it is so superior to unheated ones other people use in our area. We hope more families can have an experience as perfect as ours."
