Hi there,


Kings hold twice monthly drop-in sessions held on the first and third Tuesday of the month. You just meet at the Nightingale Birth Centre reception desk at 6.30pm. No need to book. I found this helpful as could ask questions and look at the rooms. I think there are 4 pools.


I thought about having a waterbirth but wasn't desperate for that to be my only option which was good as when it came to it, the pool was available but the pump wasn't working. (This was 3 years ago though!)


Good luck 😊

I wanted a waterbirth two years ago at Kings (before the Midwife Led unit was open), I got the last available labour room and the room with a pool was already in use, but they also have a blow up pool which they said I could use. Annoyingly they couldn't find a crucial part (I actually never felt sure I believed them because they also announced out of the blue I wouldn't be able to use the pool becuase I had once, as a teenager, had fainting episodes, something which no midwife or consultant had blinked an eye at before...but I guess I'm sceptical about whether the pool really was out of order or they didn't want me in it).

However, there was a bath and I was happy enough spending hours in the bath. So it was fine. Good luck!

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying. 
    • Hello, Does this lovely little panther have a name? & Is he neutered & microchipped?
