Subject
Birthing Pools
Description
  1. I would like information and statistics to show how many women have collapsed during labour whilst in the birthing pool between 2012 – 2017
  2. I would also like to know on how many occasions all of the birthing pools on the main delivery suite have been in use at the same time.
Response
  1. 456 deliveries took place on the Midwifery Led Unit in 2012-2017 and none of these women had a BMI of >35
    148 deliveries took place on the Delivery Suite in the birthing pool in 2012-2017 and six of these women had a BMI of >35
    Of these deliveries there were no women who collapsed during labour whilst in the birthing pools
  2. We only have one birthing pool on the main Delivery Suite and two birthing pools on the adjacent Midwifery Led Unit. We do not record when all of the pools are in use at the same time.
