As a home birth midwife of many years, some of the most memorable births l have had the honour to attend were those of women birthing into water, in fact, l gave birth at home into water and my daughter birthed her first baby in water in August.

For now we are offering the pools and kit for £75, plus, a delivery charge of £10 = £85
This is to support women at the present time to make it more affordable, if there is no home birth service on your big day.
The balance of £45/£55 dependant on size of pool, only need be paid if, either the midwives are available on the day to support your home birth or the pool/liner have been used.
At the moment approx 90% of home birth day shifts are being covered and 70% of night shifts.
