Almos born June 4, 2011.
Weighing 8lbs 14ozs.

Mum Anett said: "We decided to have a waterbirth because we were against using medical pain relief during labour.
"The pool was extremely comfortable, the handles on the side were very good to hold onto and the the soft bottom of the pool and the inflatable seat made every position comfy."

Mum Anett added: "After the birth we stayed in the water until the cord stopped pulsating.
"We had the most precious moments of our lives, the first moments with our son in this pool.
"The whole waterbirth experience was so calm and magical. We can not wait to re-live this magic again and we are planning the second baby already."

Iris Aurora born March 19, 2011.

Mum May said: "I just wanted to say thankyou for hiring us the pool - it really helped to make our birth as natural, calm and beautiful as we'd hoped. Iris Aurora was born at 2.20am on Saturday in my living room and is a lovely calm baby. This is our first ever family picture in your amazing pool and will be recommending it to anyone who will listen."

May added:" I want to encourage as many people to have a water birth as possible. It's got everything off to such a good start and I feel really empowered by the whole experience."

Xanthe Celia Alice born November 15, 2010. Weighing 8lbs.

Mum Sasha said: "I just wanted to let you know how impressed I have been with your service. After having a hospital water birth with my first son, I wanted to make sure a water birth would be possible again with my daughter. As our local hospital only have 2 birthing pools we decided to have a home birth and hire a birthing pool. We felt £80 for 5 weeks hire was a bargain and having the pool delivered and picked up made the preparation for our homebirth 'stress free'!"

Mum Sasha added: "The pool was really easy to use, my husband put it up really quickly when I was in labour and it didn't take long to fill. (We did have a practise run first!) I laboured in the pool for 2 1/2 hours and my daughter was born underwater in the pool in front of the fire in our living room. I didn't need to use any pain relief as being in the water really made the contractions bearable. My daughter Xanthe was born with the most natural and calm entry into the world. Thank you very much for making this possible."

Holly Isabella born October 13, 2010.
Weighing 7lbs 5oz.

Mum Emma-Jane said: "I just want to thank you Emma for such an easy hire process, the pool was delivered exactly as described and on time. The pool itself was the best £80 we have ever spent during any of my three pregnancies! I had a waterbirth in hospital last year that was fantastic so I wanted the same at home. Your pool was even better than the hospital one! the soft sides and soft floor were priceless and made for a far more comfortable labour! "

"It was so easy to put up and fill when my labour started, my labour was only 3 hours but we had plenty of time to fill it and it maintained temperature really well with only a little top up needed of warm! It really did help me labour smoothly I felt so safe and cosy inside the pool and our little girl enjoyed her first cuddles in the water too! It was also easy to let down thanks to the pump and was packed away again in no time thanks to my husband, who really enjoyed having a purpose rather than standing around like a spare part!. The collection of the pool was also completely stress free."

Emma-Jane added: "I would recommend this pool hire service from Emma to anybody thinking of a waterbirth - it really was as easy as that! I found Emma's website from a recommendation I found online - I can now see why. A fantastic service and a fantastic pool! Many thanks! "

Albert Vincent born September 3, 2010. Weighing 8lb 1oz.

Mum Fiona said: "I'm pleased to say, had a very gentle birth thanks to the pool we hired from you. I've been really pleased with the pool and the service from your company."
Mum Fiona added: "I would recommend a home water birth to everyone, provided the pregnancy is normal. The warm water of the pool is fantastic for relaxing you enough to control your breathing and cope with the contractions. I've found the pool absolutely essential as the contractions get to the point where you start to feel that you might not be able to cope. I've managed to deliver without any other pain relief, not even gas and air, and without intervention. I'm no hippy but really feel that a birth in water has been the most natural and gentle way to bring my boys into the world."

Mum Fiona added: "Your hire service just adds to the convenience, having somebody to drop the pool off and then come and take it away again. I have to say that for five weeks hire, the disposable liner, drop off and pick up the £80.00 you charge is worth every penny and, I would go so far to say, is an absolute bargain. Thanks once again for your great service."

Robyn born August 28, 2010. Weighing 8lb 13ozs.

Mum Sherrie said: " The pool really helped in the early stages of labour but unfortunatly I had to get out to have my baby as her head was tilted and she wouldn't desend as quickly as she should of done. At 00:02 on the 28th August i gave birth to a beautiful girl called Robyn. I believe it's because of the pool I didn't need any drugs not even gas and air for the whole 18 hours I was in labour. Thank you so much for helping me with my birth and enabling me to have a home birth. Without the pool I think I'd have ended up in hospital having an epidural."

Ciara Celeste born July 26, 2010.
Weighing 8lb 7ozs.

Mum Janet said: "It took 30 minutes to fill the mini pool we hired, I got straight in at 2 centimetres dilated and she was born in less than 3 hours. I picked her up out of the water myself, she cried a really strong cry and we discovered we had a baby daughter. It was an amazing experience. No drugs or stiches required."

Mum Janet added: "Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity for a birth we could only dare to dream of. I cannot recommend your service highly enough."

Alexander Ash born July 3, 2010.
Weighing 8lbs 6ozs.

Mum Danielle said: "I felt like I couldn't have done it without the pool! One thing that really felt amazing in terms of pain relief was being in the pool and having water poured over my back during contractions (with a measuring jug to start with and then later a whole bucket!). Also, being in the water made it much easier to change positions as well as to relax slightly between contractions."

Mum Danelle added: "Afterwards my husband was able to jump in with us and cuddle our new little boy and support a very exhausted new mum!!!"

Willow Rose born June 27, 2010.
Weighing 6lb 8ozs.

Mum Jessica said: "The pool took no time at all to inflate and was full of water in under an hour. The sensation of being in warm water and cocooned in the pool immediately relaxed me and made the contractions more bearable, I actually began to enjoy my labour and was floating around in my own little world. I quickly got to 10cm and stayed in the pool all that time, unfortunately my baby had to be delivered on dry land and not in the pool due to her hands being stuck round her face and she refused to come out! At 3pm Willow Rose Chippendale was born on my bedroom floor!"

Jessica added: "I found the service Emma provided to be friendly, efficient and very competitively priced. Although my baby wasn't born in the pool I found it an amazing pain relieving tool to use during labour and will definitely be using one of Emma's pools again for my next birth."

Ishaan born June 4, 2010.
Weighing 8lb 3ozs.

Dad Sanj said: “We only started considering a home birth 2 weeks before the due date. I thought it would be too late to organise a pool but it was simply a case of call one day, well packaged pool with clear instructions delivered the next."

Dad Sanj added: "Returning the pool was equally as simple - which is exactly what you need after the birth of a child."

"A fantastic experience and a beautiful baby boy," added Sanj.

Nicole born on May 8, 2010. Weighing 8lb 6ozs.

Mum Amy said: "The service was great, very quick and efficient. The pool was easy to set up with all the accessories needed to set it up included in the price quoted (which I found wasn't always the case when searching online)."

Mum Amy added: "Although I didn't end up giving birth in the pool I would definitely use a birth pool again next time and will most definitely be coming back to you for it."

Esme born March 21, 2010. Weighing 8lbs.

Mum Jo said: "The birth pool was amazing. An instant relief. I would never consider giving birth without one again! The midwives even commented about how much nicer it was than the hospital ones, which are hard, as they could lean on the edge in comfort. "

Mum Jo added: "It made my birth experience very positive. This was my first baby and a home birth that went exactly to plan. Thank you so much! I have already been recommending you to others I know who are considering homebirths."

Anya born January 28, 2010.

Dad Alex said: Although we didn't end up using the birth pool, just having the option of using it gave us great peace of mind and helped us feel a lot more relaxed about the home birth."

Dad Alex added: "We think it is really great the service you offer and will definitely consider using your birth pool when we eventually get round to baby number two!"

Mum Lyndsay said: "What a fabulous experience. I'm now a complete home water birth lover, even though she was 11lbs!! "I think we have the most chilled out baby in the world! Must be the lack of drugs and the relaxed atmosphere of a water birth! "Many Thanks for all your help and I've passed your details on."
