Brookhaven has two Gentle Birth Pool kits available for families having a homebirth and wanting to have water available to ease the discomfort of labor and/or have a waterbirth. Clients of other midwives are welcome to rent our pools, you do not have to be a Brookhaven client to rent from us. Our clients do receive a substantial discount though!
The Gentle Birth Pool imanufactured by Waterbirth International was developed by two waterbirth parents who wanted something lightweight and portable for their next birth. The pool can easily be moved from room to room (when empty), and setup takes little time. Unpack the pool, put it together, fill with water and you are ready to welcome your child into the world! We provide all of the equipment you need for a warm, gentle waterbirth.
