Active Birth Pools

Since 1987 we have helped to pioneer the use of water for labour and birth.

During this time we have supplied birthing pools to more than 3/4 of the maternity units in the United Kingdom and to hospitals and midwives throughout the world.

We have worked closely with parents, midwives, obstetricians, microbiologists and technical experts in developing our versatile range of hospital and portable water birth pools.

Our pools are produced to the highest standards and have been widely tested and approved by professionals working in hospitals and the community.

We operate the largest birth pool hire service in the UK offering our customers a choice of 3 pool hire packages.

Birth With Sol

While it may not look like a birth pool, it is just as sturdy (a lot more cheerful!) and works fabulous for a gentle water birth. All this comes from experience, as this is the birth pool we recommend and use for our homebirth clients! At 22 inches tall, mom can sit and relax, resting her arms on the pool edge and the water should more than fully cover the belly.

There is plenty of room to move around, and it can fit two adults with no problem. Yet it is still small enough around to fit in even the closest of quarters. Best of all, your kids can use it later. In fact, some places sell this birthing pool exclusively as a kiddie pool, not realizing it as the multi-function item it is! How does the size of our birth pool compare to a round professional birth tub? This birthing pool is 2 inches shorter. That's it! The inside diameter is about the same and the outside diameter is a few inches wider.
