Curious about birth pools? This session is designed for pregnant people and their support team - partners and friends, physiotherapist and osteopaths, doulas and delivery nurses, midwives and doctors, and beyond!

The session aims to cover the research around the use of water immersion during labour and birth, dispel rumours and explain the benefits. Beyond this we will explain what a good “birth pool kit” should include, and the practical logistics and considerations when opting to use a birth pool. We will also demo a birth pool set up.

Did you know, research shows that use of a birth pool is one of the most effective forms of pain relief during labour, second only to epidural anesthesia?!

Use of a pool does not mean you have to have a water birth - water birth is not for everyone! If you are interested in reaping the benefits during labour but want to birth “on land” - you can be immersed during labour and then get out of the pool when it is time to push.

Research shows birth pools as distinct (and superior!) to a bath tub - birth pools offer greater pain relief as they are less cramped and allow more movement for the birthing person.

This is a brand new class offering, as such we are offering a “pay what you can” model, with an anonymous donation box at the class.
