• Book your pool hire as early as possible to ensure that you have the birth that you want.

• Booking a pool hire after your 36th week, may mean that the exact pool model you wish for may not be available at that time. We DO guarantee that we will have a pool for you to have at your birth so, if your first choice is not available, look at our other hire pools, we have plenty to suit.

• Use our hire pool deposit if you are under 32 weeks - this will book the pool that you want, when you want it!

• The hire pool deposit will be deducted from the final cost of your pool - it is NOT an additional fee.

• If your situation changes or you simply change your mind prior to shipping, you will receive a full refund as per T&C's.

Do I need anything else for my Home Waterbirth?
No, we are the ONLY birth pool hire company that includes everything in the hire kit - you are not expected to buy additional essential items. With our hire package you will receive 3 tap connectors, a floor sheet and a thermometer at no additional charge. All of this for a hire price of only £135.

If you would like to conduct a "wet run" with the pool or intend to use the pool before the birth for any reason, we recommend that you buy an additional hose and liner for hygiene reasons (multiple "wet runs" will require additional liners and hoses).

Pool Description
The MiA ViA birth pool fast became our best selling pool outselling all others by 4 to 1 and it is easy to see why. The new technologies mean no compromise. The Tranquility Pro is the latest model on the market.

Short on Space? - no problem, MiA ViA Serenity sits in a similar footprint to a Mini Pool in a Box.

Room for two? - MiA ViA Serenity uses new technology to allow more space inside the pool, this means that 2 people of average build may be able to sit in the pool. If having your partner is really important to you, we would advise that you purchase the Tranquility to ensure that your dream becomes a reality.

All this coupled with being the only birth pool with a purpose built kidney shaped seat. This seat's registered design is larger and more comfortable than the step in other pools. It has a double layer to ensure stability.

Why a silver pool when the others are all blue?
We decided to create a pool that would be different from all the rest & after some extensive research amongst midwives, doulas and mums, one of the common themes of feedback was that they wanted a warm, calming and feminine zone for their water birth. The blue colour was generally viewed as cold, masculine and clinical and when asked for an alternative colour option, silver was overwhelming chosen as this was described as a soft, warm, strong, feminine colour that not only looks good in photos but very much provides the "zone" that is needed for birth.

The perceived wisdom for many years as been that "pools should be blue right?", as this is the colour that generally became accepted during the early 2000's. However, we have found that a particular benefit of the silver fabric is that blood and other excretions can be seen more easily when using UV light. Therefore, this has meant that checking the cleanliness of pools has made great strides because we can utilise UV lighting more effectively.

Returns
