Canterbury Homebirth Association

Enhance your birthing experience with a birthing pool:
- soothes labour pains
- allows for a water birth option
- easy to use and operate

The increase in women choosing to birth in water has meant that finding a birth pool can sometimes be difficult. As a result the Association has two birth pools and pumps, which women are able to hire.

You can hire your birthing pool from the Canterbury Homebirth Association at only:
- $80 for members (includes $40 liner)
- $110* for non-members (includes $40 liner & 1 year membership with the CHBA).

The children's' picture books 'Hello Baby' by Jenni Overend and 'Fast Food for Ben' by Ruth Brodbeck are available for loan for older siblings with birthing pool hire.

To make a booking, please complete our online booking form. Once you have completed your form, we will be in touch to confirm whether the pool is available.
