For all my pregnant clients… If you require a birthing pool to hire, please reach out to Jackie and she will be happy to help.
I’ve been hiring out birth pools for quite a few years now and have kept the cost down as low as I possibly can in order that my pools are affordable.
They are lovingly cared for by myself between uses and I expect the same from hirers. I very rarely have issues, but would ask that anyone who hires a pool from me (or anyone for that matter) remembers that women have laboured, birthed and relaxed, holding their newly-born babes IN THIS POOL and many more WILL be born IN THIS POOL. The pools are sacred places, the energy in and around them is full of light and love, so please treat them with respect when you have finished with them.
Sometimes, they don’t get used for a variety of reasons - fast labours or a transfer into hospital for example; sadly I can’t refund your money because this is a ‘hire’ but as a tiny consolation, I offer a Reflexology treatment when Mum feels up to it - baby is of course welcome to come along too.
Hire - Pool (Regular eco oval ‘Birthpool in a Box’) Universal liner, 10m hosepipe, variety of adaptors, reusable silicone mirror.
Dad-to-be or birth partner is the VIP responsible for preparation of the pool and for checking it over afterwards for blood and wiping it off please.
The most tricky part is deflating the pool (you can actually suck out the air with the pump, by putting the adapter over the central connection - it sucks!) and then folding and rolling it up so it fits back in the bag!!!
All you need to provide yourself is waterproof covering for the floor - groundsheets are invaluable, and at least 10 clean towels - a variety of sizes for mum and baby (water-birthers need lots of towels!). An extra heat source and a hot water bottle to wrap baby’s towels in are useful too.
Optional items: fairy lights, candles, music, snacks.
You need to be able to collect and bring back to me in Great Dalby.
All the pools are out at present, but just a gentle reminder to book one quite early on if you want to guarantee to have one for your birth-day. I hate letting people down and try my utmost to make sure they have a pool for when they need one so sometimes, timings can be tight! I really appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding with this ###
