Why not just use a “Kiddie pool”?

You must fill a birth pool to at least 20” of water, no matter the design, so the woman benefits from the physiologic responses to buoyancy and immersion. The body secretes hormones in response to immersion which help to release oxytocin (the hormone responsible for labor contractions).

For relieving the physical stress of pregnancy, laboring at home,

or birthing your baby at home

Text Box: The pool is deep– which is perfect for allowing the mother to become fully immersed in soothing warn water. The spa is built with thermostatically controlled re-circulating heating system (jets), turned on or off at any time. The walls of the spa are thick enough to allow a mother or a birth attendant to sit on the rim. The spa also comes with its own locking cover, which makes it ideal for use in homes with small children.

After…

Following the birth of your baby, the spa will be emptied, taken down, and removed from your home.

Studies have shown that labors are faster in deep immersion pools.

Our spa has been strictly designed to facilitate easy movement in labor, support multiple and varied positions, and offer women deep immersion. You (and your partner) can spend many hours of your labor relaxing and enjoying complete freedom of movement. The heater keeps the spa at your chosen temperature, allowing your support people to spend time attending you, not trying to keep the water warm enough for you to stay comfortable.

Before…

The birth pool will be delivered to your home, set up, completely sanitized, tested , and inspected, approximately 3 weeks before your “due date”.

Fees

Labor/Birth Spa Rental is $300-$400, depending on your location & individual needs.

Arrangements may be made with us to keep the spa for longer, if you desire to use it therapeutically during pregnancy or postpartum recovery. Email emily@beautifulbirth.org for details.
