The birth pool was delivered as agreed. It always remains to be seen whether the birth pool will be used because childbirth is unpredictable, and there is no certainty of giving birth in water. The delivery guarantee that is given if the birth pool is not used is a pleasant side effect.

At the start of the contractions, the box was opened, and I started setting up the bath. I had seen the instruction video twice beforehand to get an idea of how it would all work.

With the help of the enclosed manual, the bath is easy to set up. Everything has been thought of. The inflating of the bath, the couplings for the tap and hose, and even the pumping out of the bath. Homebirth is exciting enough, and without too much effort, the bath was ready. Setting it up for the first time was easy for me.

Filling the bath takes some time. The bath is big enough for two people to sit in. For us, giving birth in the bath has really been an unforgettable and special experience.

Cleaning up the bath went pretty fast. The pumping out went quite smoothly. The cover that can be used to put everything in and throw it away is ideal. The remaining stuff could be put back in the box. Super that the box was picked up again.

In short, everything is well-organized and quite simple. We are very satisfied and we would certainly recommend you to others.
