Selecting a Pool

While some women choose to deliver in their bathtubs most women prefer an inflatable tub specifically designed for birth. The pools are cushioned on the bottom, and have inflated sides that are comfortable to lean against and strong enough to lean over. Some of the higher end pools have handles to hold on to which helps some mothers during pushing.

You can place the pool in the center of a room so there is easy access all around. If you don’t have a pump to remove the water we suggest you place the pool closer to a window.

Always test out your fill system to make sure everything is working properly. During labor is not the time to find out the hose adapter doesn’t work!

We ask that you not get a pool that is wider than 60 inches so that our access to you and the baby is not limited.

FYI – a gallon of water weighs a little over eight pounds
