birth pools
Holistic Birth Care offers three different birthing pools. The Gentle Birth Pool is five feet across and will accommodate 24” of water. Two heaters keep the water comfortably warm during labor. The Gentle Birth Pool folds to fit into a drum case for transport. Our pools come with all the acessories needed for a luxurious birth: Drinking safe fill hose, drain pump and drain hose, floating thermometer, pillow, cushion for sitting, stool to lift you so you can breastfeed in the pool, foot bath for reentry to the pool, submersible flashlight, fog proof mirror and a DVD with set up instructions.
The Spa-n-a-Box is octagon shaped, approximately five feet across and has hard sides that will support an adult. The water depth is 24” and a pump heats and circulates the water. For total relaxation there is a setting for Jacuzzi-like jets. We recommend this pool for women who have pelvic girdle discomfort and want to relax in the spa each evening the last weeks before birth. With a quick change of water the spa is ready for your birth.
The new AquaBorn Eco Pool is eco friendly and the first inflatable pool we feel comfortable using for home birth. It is oval shaped and the deepest pool around at 27 inches. The top rung can be adjusted if you want a shallower pool. The AquaBorn has three sets of handles to support you during pushing in any position you may choose. The bottom is inflated to over three inches for cushy comfort.
