Hexagonal Birthing Pools

Our Hexagonal pool is the best purpose built birthing pool on the market, and our most popular. It has been described as the most beautiful pool ever seen by both mothers and midwives. It is a hand built, bespoke birthing pool made up of 6 wooden beech panels, which are easily fitted together. The beech wood used is a native, naturally water repellent, hardwood sourced from sustainable forests.

The pool has a one-inch foam base, which is placed within the frame, to cushion and insulate the floor. Once the external frame is set up, it’s a simple matter of putting the liner in place and using the smooth, rounded, wooden handrails to secure it. The whole process only takes 10 minutes.

The pool offers more than enough space for two people to move about in easily, allowing you to adopt comfortable positions for relaxation, labour and birth. The wooden panels of the Hexagonal Pool give it a natural look and this, together with the blue of the liner, provides an overall feeling of peace and tranquillity. The deep, warm water is extremely inviting, whether you’re in the run up to, or easing gently into labour.

BirthWorks Birthing Pool Heaters  

Our Hexagonal and Rectangular pools have the ability to be used alone for those with a tighter budget or who can’t spare the space for too long, or they can be used with our purpose built heaters. These stand along side the pool, and have pipes that go over into the water. They will maintain the temperature of the water for you so that the pool is ready for you to dip into at a moments notice. (Please note the heaters have a 1.5KW output and are designed to maintain the water temperature not to heat the water from cold).

Our heaters are cleaned to the same high standard as our pools and hoses. Click here for more information.

How long is it safe to keep the water in the pool?

If you choose the Gold or Diamond Hire Option you can keep the same water in the pool for the whole hire period. With this option the water is constantly filtered and the temperature maintained, with our unique heating and water maintenance system. So when labour starts you can simply lift the cover and step in. If you want to have the full benefit of using your Pool at home: for relaxation before birth, labour and afterwards - this is the option for you.

With the Bronze and Silver Hire Option it's only safe to keep the water in the pool for 24 hours - after this time the water must be pumped out and the pool cleaned and re-filled.
