Made in Water™
has come up with a professional inflatable birthing pool custom made
for women wishing to labor and give birth in water. Created by a mother
who has used water for the births of each of her four children, the
design is a vast improvement on the other birthing pools on the market. Aware
that midwives and waterbirth leading experts had become concerned by
the use of cheaper paddling pools, Made In Water introduced La Bassine
to deliver peace of mind to both mothers and midwives. Between expensive rented tubs and the controversial kiddie pool, La Bassine is seen as the birthing pool we've all been waiting for. CONSTRUCTION:
Made with extra thick PVC, La Bassine is strong and durable. Using
upright chambers construction instead of multi rings means easy access
for cleaning with no hidden place where bacteria can fester and very
strong supportive walls that can stand up the weight of a birthing
woman. Inflatable pool are easier to set up and thanks to the air
provide much better insulation than rigid birthing tub, keeping the
water warm for longer without the need of heating system. The inflatable
floor and walls provide great comfort when adopting any position,
especially leaning on the wall or kneeling on the floor.
SIZE:
Our La Bassine birthing pool is a little nest where cradled in warm
water you will feel in your own world. The outer measurements are
65"x53"x30", which allow you to set up La Bassine even in a small
hospital room or a tiny flat. The inner measurements are 50"x38"x27",
large enough for you to float and relax between each contraction and for
your midwives to reach you and your baby very easily. It requires
much less water (around 118 gallons) than most other pools and therefore
weighs far less (important if you live in a flat or you are not
birthing on the ground floor). The pool will fill using your normal hot
water system in about 30 minutes.
DEPTH:
Our La Bassine is considerably deeper than other standard inflatable
paddling pools used for waterbirths. Its 27" depth will ensure that you
belly stays under water when adopting an upright position. Supported
upright positions in labor such as kneeling, sitting or squatting have
been recognized by leading specialist to be the most effective, least
painful and safest way to give birth naturally. Water, Thanks to its
buoyancy effect, allows you to adopt any of these positions
effortlessly, leaving you all the energy you need to push your baby out.
SHAPE: The oval shape of La Bassine cuts down the volume of water required compared to a round pool of the same diameter.
COLOR: La Bassine is a dark blue color - there are no motifs or distracting colors, just a deep relaxing blue.
INTERNAL HANDLES: Two sturdy but non-obstructive plastic handles are on hand if you feel the need to hold on firmly while pushing.
