Birthing Tubs are large portable spa-like tubs especially designed for labor and/or birth at home.
 The tubs are easy to set up in under 20 minutes. No tools are required.

 The tubs are
v     soft yet sturdy
v     deep - to provide buoyancy
v     large -  to comfortably accommodate two adults (mother and helpmate)
v     spacious - for a variety of labor positions.  

  Many women are naturally drawn to water, especially during pregnancy and childbirth. Warm water immersion reduces the physical discomforts of labor by providing an atmosphere of deep relaxation, reduced anxiety and pain relief. The buoyancy of water lessens the effects of gravity and increases mobility. The warm water also helps relax the pelvic floor, allowing it to gently stretch, reducing the risk of tissue trauma or the need for episiotomies.

 Birthing tubs have proven to be an effective method of reducing the need for medical intervention and drug intervention during labor.
