Booking Info
Birth pools are in very high demand at the moment, so I recommend reserving yours as soon as possible to avoid missing out. A £50 deposit secures your booking, with the remaining balance due at 35 weeks.
Collection or delivery is arranged during your 36th week of pregnancy, so your pool is ready and waiting for your due window. The hire period runs for 7 weeks (from 37–43 weeks), giving you plenty of time and no rush to return the pool even if your pregnancy continues past 42 weeks.
Rachel
Rachel the birth pool is named after Dr Rachel Reed. A midwife, author, educator, speaker, researcher and consultant whose work focusses on childbirth physiology, midwifery practice and women's rights (and rites).
You'll find my favourite book of hers in the Glow Box as part of your birth pool kit.
You should also listen to her podcast The Midwives Cauldron.
Return & refund policy
By confirming your booking and paying your deposit you agree to my terms & condition of hire.
