Thinking about having a water birth at home? We would love to support you!
We are happy to come and assemble our water birth pool in your home, and disasemble it at the end of your birth. Water birth pools are specifically designed to suit the needs of a labouring Mother. They are extremely comfortable for all stages of labour and birth, compact, and simple to use.

- Shortened labour times
- Increased relaxation and positive birth experience
- Helps to ease the pain of contractions and reduces the risk of perineal tearing
- Increased sense of control and privacy during labour and birth
- Increases circulation, which is beneficial for both Mom and Baby.
The cost is $200 - for the delivery of the water birth tub, set-up in your home and take down at the end of your birth.
