Birth tubs are a wonderful resource in labor for helping you to let go of tension and ease discomfort.
AquaDoula
The Aqua Doula is a firm-sided tub with a floor heating element to keep the water warm. Some choose to add pool noodles to the edges to make a softer resting place.
Diameter is 4’6” round.
The AquaDoula can be set up prior to labor and left out without possibility of damage.
Rental Fee: $250
Logistics
You will receive your tub in the 37th week of pregnancy and schedule the return after your birth. There will be a fee incurred if returned after 42 weeks.
Your birth tub package comes with a clean hose for filling the tub, and a sump pump for emptying the tub. You will need to use a hose from your home to empty the tub, as the water is no longer clean and you’ll order a tub liner with your birth kit when you order birth supplies with your midwife.
You will pick up and drop your tub off in Berkeley, CA (near North Berkeley BART).
Cleaning your birth tub is your responsibility, however for a $75 fee I can include cleaning.
