Do hospitals have birthing pools? I was wandering if they provide that.The birthing center is too far where i live so ill be at a hospital,really wanted to give birth in water though

I enjoyed every minute if my labour and delivery and i was natural. My waters broke at 6:15pm and my contractions started about 7ish, i ate my chinese, walked the dogs, sorted the babys stuff out, and then got home, had a bath and walked all through the night, timing my contractions, watching tv, writing in my pregnancy diary etc. At half 6 in the morning i rung the hospital they told me to eat and then make my way, i got there about 7:30am a d they checked me, i was at 7cm, i hopped on in the birthing pool with gas and air and gave birth to my baby boy at 10:10am. As i said i loved every minute and am hoping for a similar or same experience as last time.
