Blue Lagoon Birth Pools

Are you pregnant

and thinking of a home birth?

Why not use a Blue Lagoon birth pool to support your labour, with the option of a waterbirth?

Effortless freedom of mobility

Soothing, private, warm, comforting environment

Attractive rigid outer construction offers a strong structure to brace yourself against in a variety of creative positions during labour and birth (something which is not possible with a 'blow-up' pool)

The buoyancy of the water ensures great comfort as you relax between contractions

Midwives like our pools...

Midwives are enthusiastic

about our design.

'We can lean in when necessary without fear of getting drenched, as with soft walled pools. Women can brace themselves against the walls if they feel like it because these pools are designed for their purpose and offer security and reliability for users and carers.'
