Welcome and thank you for visiting Active Birth Pools

The World's Leading Designer
and Supplier of Water Birth Pools

Freedom of movement lies at the heart of natural, active birth. By providing a supportive and inviting environment for active birth more women can discover how upright positions are most comfortable and beneficial.

Our pools differ in shape and size to accommodate the needs of hospitals with different spaces, budgets and requirements. What they share in common is a core design philosophy.

Every Active Birth Pool is designed so that the women using them can move freely in labour, and can find and be supported in the positions most beneficial to a natural, physiological labour.

Our pools actively encourage women to adopt these positions. Our newest pools feature seats and supports angled forward to optimise the position of the pelvis, and handles positioned to support upright postures.

The experience of midwives, as well as mothers, is a key consideration in our design process. All our pools have been developed in collaboration and consultation with midwives, and this can be seen in the finished products.

An Active Birth Pool is the end result of a process involving mothers, midwives, obstetricians, microbiologists, architects and engineers, all of whom we listen to before we even put pen to paper.

We are constantly looking for newer and better ways to meet the needs of everyone who will be working with our pools.
