Hiring the Oval Birthing Pool
Description of the Oval Birthing PoolTo Hire £200 for 4 to 5 weeks plus £40 return delivery charge.
This is our most luxurious birthing pool. It is large enough to easily accommodate two people. It also gives a woman ample space to adopt many different positions or float completely stretched out. Tall women particularly enjoy this birth pool. The 3 inch (8cm) wide rim on this birth pool is a particular feature in that women can grip onto it easily for support. The rim also allows a birth supporter to comfortably sit on the side of the birthing pool.
The built-in seat-step allows a woman or supporter to both sit in the birthing pool while also providing a step to assist entering and exiting the birth pool. Following the birth of your baby, you may wish to sit on the step and welcome your new baby. You may even wish to breastfeed the baby for the first time while you are in the birth pool. The Oval birth pool's frame consists of six solid fibreglass panels which are bolted together (no tools necessary). The ground pad, which makes kneeling more comfortable as it cushions and insulates the floor, is placed in the open frame. The permanent and disposable liners can then be put in place and the birthing pool is then ready to fill.
Approximate assembly time - 20 minutes.
Approximate filling time - 2 to 4 hours
