I think I will have to get out of the bath to birth the placenta - I'm a bleeder! And I'm sure my midwives will want to keep a close eye on my blood loss, which has only happened after I delivered the placenta both times.
I got out of the pool with DD1 because she was getting cold. She wasn't in the water much and was wet and started getting goosebumps so I moved to the bed and did the placenta thing. Also, my waters broke as she came out and it was all mec filled, so the whole bath was a foul shade of green and not overly appealing to stay in for long.
I stayed in the pool with DD2, although it didn't come after a couple of pushes so I handed her off to DH and stood up to push it out and then just got out. Not really my thing to hang around in there for long after all is done.
