The tub exceeded my expectations. I truly feel it enabled me to deliver without drug intervention."
Paula Townsell, Everett
After 30 plus hours of labor, I ached. I couldn't stand anymore. Thank God I had the tub. The water supported my weight and gave me the relief and rest I needed to birth my baby."
Janice Englehart, Mother
It's important to have options during labor and the tub is at the top of my list."

I had a labor tub delivered to my hospital room. Before labor, I was not
convinced I wanted to use a labor tub. However, once the contractions
started coming quickly, I couldn't wait to get in it. It was much more
comfortable and spacious than the tubs the hospital had available. I sat
on my knees kneeling over the side during contractions and then spread out
to relax between contractions. It was easy to get in and out of, and the
temperature was perfect. Now that I've used a labor tub, I can't imagine
not having one available. I recommend them to all my friends!"
Sharon Aliza, Mother
By using the tub, I was able to create an environment that allowed me to labor in my own way. Having the water support my body was a big help."
