Used and recommended by doulas

“I have attended several homebirths using la Bassine and carry one when I attend births to offer women the opportunity to use water in their labour (I have set up the pool in all sorts of circumstances). It truly is a very useful tool for a natural and positive birth, it’s practical, great value for money and every woman should have one!” Catrin, Doula.

“Women in labour are often drawn to water for its gentle calming effect. La Bassine provides a sanctuary for the birthing woman, a space where she's in charge of her birthing body and where she's able to offer her baby a gentle entrance to the world.” Becky, Doula.

LA BASSINE BIRTHING POOL IS MUCH APPRECIATED BY:

Mothers, who prefer an intimate and private space to labour/birth their baby.
Fathers, who want to catch their baby being born without being in the pool.
Midwives, who reassured they can safely attend the mother if needed, can at last offer a hands-off approach without interfering with the birth process.

And beyond birth, for hours of fun...
