My understanding is the current maternity ward/delivery suites have a seperate room where the bath is. The other hospital i had DD had a bath in a seperate room and i had to get out and walk back to my room to start pushing But the new delivery suites all have baths in the rooms so they are very equipped and hope to have all the midwives trained.

As for the luke warm water, the water wasn't very warm for DDs labour but it was enough to give me great relief. I think just having the water on me made it all better.
