Our compact elliptical birthing pool has a similar footprint to our Dunoon birthing pool. Designed for labouring and post-partum bathing, it is all curves and comfort with fantastic lumber support for a reclining woman.

Compact as it is, it still has the space and depth to allow for kneeling and leaning postitions. It is also a good size to install in homes providing a conpact spa bath every person deserves.

Steps! An all important accessiblity tool.
We can make them to your specifications, with standard shapes to choose from or bespoke just for you, in the place you need.

We can also make them to be movable as well as stationary, so you can easily get it from A to B where it is needed, or simply pop it out of the way.
Handle rails can also be to your specifications.

Starting from what you need, we can create the birthing pool with the features that you want.
