After two easy natural births, I feared that this would be the wild card. See how this nervous birth photographer went through with a natural home birth.

"There's no place like home" may have all new meaning after you see these stunning photos.

Originally developed in 1987 with help of obstetricians, midwives and healthcare specialists this best selling pool remains true to the original but, incorporates significant improvements in design, materials and engineering. Built to last for decades - guaranteed for life!

I was introduced to a delightful little etsy shop recently: CaryYork: Celebrating Life's Sacred Journeys You can also see her work at http...

My ideal home birth turned into into a hospital birth, which became a c-section. After three days of labor, I was so thankful to finally meet our sweet baby!

These are the winners of the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers ' annual competition.

The La Bassine Maxi birth pools are designed for women who prefer the added space of a larger pool. The Maxi is 50% larger than our La Bassine Original birthing pool.

MOM DESIGNED & PHOTOGRAPHER APPROVED: Meet the prettiest birth pool on the market! Our marshmallow white color is the most serene, almost white color you've ever seen. No brand name is plastered across our pool. Instead, you'll find a sweet affirmation in a barely there font. CATERING TO MOTHER’S NEEDS: Mamas, you’re going to love the details we’ve included in this birth tub. It features a seat that's great for leaning against during labor as well as propping you up for baby snuggles. We’ve carefully placed handles that are strong enough to withstand labor. We’ve even included a cup holder to help keep you hydrated! TRANSFORMATIVE BIRTH EXPERIENCE: The benefits of a home water birth are incredible. You’ll experience natural pain relief, increased comfort and relaxation, and gentler transitions. If you’re looking for more control, empowerment, privacy and intimacy during your birth, you are our people! COMFORT & SAFETY: We’re all about elevating your water birth experience. Our birth tub is crafted from a professional grade (0.5 mm) soft, non toxic, phthalate-free, eco pvc that prioritizes your comfort and safety during labor and delivery. The smooth edges and sturdy structure provide stability and reassurance, allowing you to focus on the beauty of birth. THE PERFECT SIZE: You’ll have plenty of room to move and change positions, but our smaller footprint makes our pool suitable for all sizes of rooms, living rooms, etc.

We had a natural, calm birth with our third baby. He was born at home in a birth tub about 6 hours after labor started. It was so peaceful!
