Pool rental
The most common birth tubs used for labor are:

  • La Bassine or Birth Pool in a Box, they are inflatable pools that have a cushiony bottom for comfort. I rent these pools exclusively to my clients. All you need to do is let me know that you want to rent it and I will spare one for you. I normally deliver these at the 37 week visit.
