Why rent a birth pool?
Inflatable birth pools are designed specifically for birth allow for you to be more fully submerged in water than your bathtub and also provide essential positioning tools like handles and seats to help get you comfortable as you labor and give birth or recover in water after birth. The fitted liners included with each rental make cleanup extremely easy and mess-free!
Renting a birth pool is cheaper than purchasing and reduces waste in landfills. The inflatable option makes set up a breeze and also limits the amount of weight the floors of your home have to hold. The compact size of the mini pool allows usage in virtually any space within the home and still provides ample room for people under six feet to stretch out and be comfortably held in labor and birth.
Birth pools offer an effective comfort measure option for labor or a practical way to have a water birth.
Some reported benefits of using water for labor & birth include:

Reduces tearing or trauma to the perineum
Lowers risk of cesarean section
Encourages an smoother birth and a gentler entrance into the world for baby
