Lisa (our lovely australian distributor) and son Billy

"(...)born on my sofa, with my foot planted firmly on La Bassine, I had popped to the loo and was just to tired to climb back in the pool.....(ohhhh the irony!!)"

Ruth and her baby boy Thomas Samuel - UK -

"(...)our son, was born at home weighing a very unexpected 10lb 3oz. Ruth spent 8 hours in the pool, which helped her labour immensely, and she delivered underwater. It was a completely different experience from the hospitalised one we had with our first child!"

Cassie and her baby boy River - US -

"I absolutely LOVED the LaBassine! I recently birthed my baby River in it (12/30/05).The firm sides really hold up, I am NOT a petite woman. The higher level of water containment really was nice too.

Mark and Marieke's son "Oliver Georg Krause" AUS

"(...)this was what I had been hoping for but it was even better than I imagined! (…) After about half an hour of relaxed floating and moving around in the pool, pushing contractions started. At 4.15pm, Oliver shot out with one big push- head and body at once!. (…) It was a fabulous experience!!

Robin's son - AUS -

"(...) I knew that I wanted to birth on my hands and knees, I was very comfortable doing this in the La Bassine as the floor was padded- I could also rest my head on the padded sides between contractions- My daughter and mother were able to watch our little boy emerge into this world, seeing everything through the water (...)"

Julie, Paul and their new baby Miles - AUS -

"Our first babe was born into the birth pool in a beautiful, peaceful home birth.(..) The water was an incredible tool for relaxation and surrender. We had looked at other pools but decided on the La Bassine because of the inflatable bottom (great for my knees) and handles."

Nicole, Dave and son Joshua - UK -

"Thanks to your birthing pool Joshua came into the world with no stress in the least. It was amazing to see him, only for a few seconds, submerged below the water without a care in the world. The three midwives were so impressed by the pool that they asked for your website address"

Karelle and little girl, Mackenzie, Kim from Switzerland

"(...) I bought the bassine few months ago. I gave birth at home and it was a wonderful experience. The bassine was wonderful. Thank you for having a such product. My midwife used it twice since she discovered it at my place.

Kerry and little girl, Emma, from UK

"(...) I gave birth to my daughter, Emma on 23rd March in the La Bassine. It was an amazing experience and i would recommend it to anyone. She weighed 9lb 6.5oz and because of the water i thought that it was much less painful than my first two births. The pool itself is a great design and my husband had it up and filled within half an hour. We were both impressed with it and even our midwife said she'd recommend it to her ladies!

Sarah and little girl, Molly, from UK

"(...) Molly is my second child and I had my first in the hospital pool which although was good, did not match the comfort and support that your pool gave me second time round. I would recommend this pool to anyone who is contemplating a water birth. I am not a small person (5' 8" and 18 stone!) but I felt totally supported and at ease. It gave me the opportunity to have a relaxed, controlled home birth and looking back, I sometimes wonder if that is the reason why I have a calm, easy going beautiful girl!"

Antje and husband with daughter Marla Sophie, from Germany

"...we were expecting a baby which was to be born at home. During summer the pool was filled with salted water and loved for relaxing during pregnancy. In August the day of birth arrived and it was so wonderful giving birth in warm water at home! Our little daughter Marla arrived at August 22nd with no hurry - what a great, beloving experience!"

Caroline with Christian Henry Rylke from UK

"(...) Many thanks - a lovely home waterbirth and the pool was superb.

Päivi (our Finland distributor) with her little Princess.

"...Next contraction the head was bulging, so I jumped into the pool. Janne was on the phone with the midwife and meanwhile I birthed the head in the water. I could see a loop of cord next to baby’s head (not around). The midwife trough the phone advised me to stand up above the water. The rest of the baby slipped out into my arms and we sat down in the pool".

Jackie from Wirral

"...Last year I used a La Bassine and thought it was wonderful..."
