A metre deep would be far too deep in my opinion, think of being on hands and knees…Most of the birthing pools I’ve known and loved have been about 60cms deep up to the fill line, and that seems perfect for just about any position. The La Bassine Made in Water pools are a pretty good alternative to a hard sided pool if you want something that’s portable. Have a look on the website, HYPERLINK "http://www.madeinwater.com/"www.madeinwater.com and follow the links to the Australian distributor. You could also have a look on Joyous Birth website, I believe they are compiling a list of birth pools Australia wide available for hire.
Hope that helps, Tania X _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Katy O'Neill Sent: Monday, 8 January 2007 3:27 PM To: Ozmidwifery Subject: [ozmidwifery] Finding a birth pool Dear all, I know we have covered this, however I have been back over the past year and can't find any references. A women approached me about where to find a suitable birthing pool. She has been told it should be a mtr deep and she has only found the kids ones of 750cm. It will also need to fit in her kitchen. We are in rural NSW. Does anyone have any info I can give to her. Katy. -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
