Are you a maternity care professional looking to start offering pool births? Then a high-quality starter kit is an essential first step. It provides you with all the core components you need to safely and professionally support births using a birthing pool.

At Birthpools, we understand what professionals like you need—we’ve been supporting midwifery practices, birth centres, and hospitals across Europe for years. Curious about the different ways you can integrate a birthing tub into your services? Take a look at our options for practices and hospitals.

Contents of Birthpools’ starter kits

Our starter kits are carefully assembled with reusable equipment that allows you to offer birthing pool services with confidence. Each kit includes:

• A birthing pool (Birth Pool in a Box)
• An electric air pump
• A universal tap connector set
• A practical storage box for the pump and connectors

If you're working in a hospital setting, we offer a dedicated hospital starter kit that also includes a special tap connector. This adapter allows you to easily switch between shower water and water for the birth pool, streamlining the setup in clinical environments. All components are designed to be easy to clean and can be reused for multiple births.

Difference between starter kits and water birth kits

A starter kit includes the reusable essentials you only need to purchase once. For each individual home pool birth or hospital water birth, you’ll also need a water birth kit. These contain single-use items such as a hygienic liner, a sterile water hose, and a submersible pump. Clients can order these themselves, or you can keep them in stock at your practice.
