Birthing Pool

The moment you become pregnant you are faced with many decisions to make.  Deciding on how you would like to deliver your new arrival is just one, however it is a very important decision to make to ensure the best delivery for your child and for the mother.

It was estimated that last year more than 5000 woman in the UK, used a birthing pool to ease labour pains, reduce stress and lessen the need for drugs.

Research has been carried out over the last ten years and it has proved that submersion in warm water can shorten labour and improve the pain level.  Labouring in warm water can reduce the use of drugs required for pain relief, which cross the placenta making the baby sleepy and proving more difficult to breastfeed.

Do I use a Birthing Pool Liner?

There is no need to use a liner as this can carry just as many germs as any other material.  Midwives and hospitals do not use them.  It is recommended that you clean your pool with a sterilising solution at the start of your labour.

What Happens if I Get a Puncture?

The birthing pool will still hold all the water so you can dispose of it without any damage to your floor. This is due to the upright I-Beams structure.

Is the Birthing Pool Comfortable?

The floor of the birthing pool is 7cm (3 inches) thick ensuring a comfortable labour.  The layer of air this provides is great for kneeling down when in labour.

Extract from NHS

"The opportunity to labour in water is recommended for pain relief by The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. You may want to use water for labour and also to have your baby in the water, and this can be at home, in birth centres or at the hospital. Water birth is recognised and supported (for healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancies) by both The Royal College of Obstetricians and the Royal College of Midwives".
