When should I reserve my birth pool?

We recommend that you reserve your pool as early as possible. Our pools are reserved for a window of 4-5 weeks at a time. It is very likely for us to become fully booked for months in advance.

Can I borrow a pool even though I’m not planning my homebirth with BCM?

Yes! You are welcome to borrow our pools no matter who is or isn't in attendance.

Are there additional items I should consider purchasing ?

* During most births, there can be large particles and debris in the pool that you might wish to remove.  A small fish net will be helpful for this - usually $4 on amazon.

* A durable, waterproof floor covering can help protect the floor from splashes or puddles that might collect when the woman is getting in and out of the pool.

* It’s also handy to have a fitted sheet to cover the pool after it has been set up.  This will help keep dust and/or pet hair out while it is waiting to be used. 

*emergency/mylar blankets retain heat very well when the pool is not in use

How are the pools kept clean?

A disposable liner must be used with each pool and the pool must be wiped down with the provided cleaner and dried before it is put back into its bag for drop-off. Clean the pool, how you would like to have received it.

Then, once we receive the pool back, we thoroughly disinfect the pool for the next family!

How easy is it to set up, take down, and clean up the birth pool?

Very easy – and we provide instructions to make it even easier!  Set-up is as simple as inflating the pool.  Add the liner before fully inflated, then continue inflating for a tight fit.  Fill the pool with lukewarm water, to protect the seals then top off with hot. Keeping in mind that it may take time to adequately fill before you want to get in, and refresh water as needed.  After you are finished using the pool, remove debris and empty water using the provided pump.  Dispose of the liner and wipe down the entire pool with our sanitizing solution.  (Set up, take down, and clean up must all be done according to our detailed instructions.)
