This birth pool made for a calming space for a home water birth. I loved how it made the room feel grounded and peaceful, helping me relax and feel supported as I welcomed my baby.

Such a simple hack but a lifesaver for homebirth! I used them to protect floors and surfaces, making cleanup after birth so much easier and stress-free.

Camec Birth Pool Hose

Perfect for inflating a homebirth pool quickly and with minimal effort. Just plug in, connect the right nozzle, and the pool is ready in minutes. A real time-saver!

Handy to tape the pool hose when draining the pool and taping the painters tape to the ground so it doesn't move around etc. Good extra supply to have that you don't always think of.

Thick Yoga Mat

I think this shape is easier to grasp onto than the combs. Helps to relax muscles, reducing pain, stimulating blood flow, relieving tension and relieving trigger points.

Water birth bonus: As these balls float, they are super handy for a water birth as they will float on top of the water when you drop it, ready for you to quickly grab it when you're ready.
