Birth-Pool-in-a-Box Regular

Now includes disposable liner for enhanced safety Midwives advised that a new liner for the birth was a necessity from a hygiene perspective, while mothers wanted to be able to do trial-runs before the real thing. One disposable liner is included and additional liners are available for just £20.00. Using a liner also means two "containers" for the water, giving added protection against water leaks. Deep enough to give buoyancy without compromising midwife support The minimum recommended depth of water to provide bouyancy for a mother in labour is 18" (45cm) (Source: The Waterbirth Book by Janet Balaskas). New Birth-Pool-in-a-Box has an internal depth of 26" (66cm) and since the sides are stiff when inflated, you can fill water to a depth of 23". New internal step and top handles This version has an inflatable internal step and handles on the top of the sides. These aid entry and exit from the pool and the handles are situated perfectly for holding when you are lying face up in the water. (Note: images below do not show top handles) Three independent chambers for improved safety The sides of Birth-Pool-in-a-Box are made of 3 independent tubular chambers stacked on top of each other. If one of them should puncture by accident, only 1/3 of the wall height will be lost. Birth-Pool-in-a-Box Regular with Pattern Comfortable and welcoming This doesn't look like a medical device! It is welcoming and the inflated sides are comfortable to rest upon. This is conducive to your relaxation which will enhance the production of the hormone oxytocin, speeding up your labour. The pool is also available without pattern. Double-reinforced handles Mothers requested strong handles on the outside of the pool for use when leaning on the side facing out. They are angled at 30 degrees for comfort and secure the disposable liner in place. The additional top handles in this version have been introduced following additional feedback from some midwives and mothers. Birth-Pool-in-a-Box Regular with Pattern Sturdy enough for birth partner and midwives to support from any position Once the pool is filled, the sides are sturdy enough for a 15 stone (95.5kg) person to sit on the side without collapsing it. There is also plenty of room in this pool for the partner to join the mother. "The sides gave plenty of support and felt solid and safe. " - Julia Duncan, Ramsgate Every one factory-tested Every single pool is inflated and left for 24 hours before testing and packing. That means structural integrity you can depend on. Birth-Pool-in-a-Box Regular with Pattern Fast to inflate and fill With the fast handpump provided free with the pool, it takes only 10 minutes to inflate the pool. Your mattress foot-pump or electric-pump may not be powerful enough to inflate the pool to full pressure. Water filling time depends on your hot-water system. This Regular pool holds the equivalent of approximately 3 1/4 bathtubs of water. "The ease of inflation and deflation was incredible" - Stuart Hayward, Worcestershire Proven in the field Birth-Pool-in-a-Box has been used successfully for labour and birth by thousands of women in Britain and Europe.
