Using A Birth Pool at Home
As parents-to-be you will have thought long and hard about how you'd like to give birth. If you have decided to have a water birth at home, we can help. We offer a hire only service for our birth pools, meaning you can welcome your baby in water from the comfort of your own home. To help make your birth preparations even easier we also sell many of the additional items needed for planning your home waterbirth in our online store.
Please note:
this video is aimed at both families and birth professionals. We do not expect our families to disinfect their pool and equipment before returning, however, the pool will need drying and any marks removing before packing and the
submersible pump will need rinsing and drying as per our handbook guidance. The used liner, hose etc. can be disposed of in household waste and does not require a clinical waste bin and must not be returned once opened.
Why choose us?
Barefoot Birth Pools have been supporting families with their home waterbirths for over seven years and have worked with thousands of families during that time. Operating from our town centre store we have dedicated cleaning rooms for our pools and also have comprehensive insurance coverage.
About us
We are proud to be recommended by so many Midwives, Doulas and Homebirth groups across the country and we also continue to support raising the profile of homebirths through our Community Birth Pool schemes for new homebirth initiatives and our Waterbirth Study Days for Birth Professionals.
