Such a beautiful birth pool! So comfortable, easy to put up, pack down, and send off again, with clear printed instructions and everything we needed in the box.
I cannot recommend Labour & Love enough! We hired a birth pool for our planned homebirth, and having it arrive early brought so much peace to the final weeks of pregnancy. As a first-time mum, having the pool sorted gave me incredible peace of mind—especially when a major storm hit and we risked being flooded in. It just made us feel so prepared.
Even though our circumstances changed on the day and we moved to a birth centre, I would hire from them again in a heartbeat just for the reassurance it gave us leading up to the birth.
Dalen was so helpful and wonderful to communicate with throughout the whole process. Labour & Love really do hold so much love and care, which was so appreciated, especially during that tender time straight after birth. Such a lovely energy, beautiful vibe, and genuine care - an example of great people doing wonderful things for such a precious time of life. So incredibly grateful!
Hi Kristie, thank you so much for taking the time to share this it genuinely means the world to us. We're so glad the pool arriving early gave you that peace of mind in those final weeks, especially with the storm bearing down. That's exactly what we hope to offer: one less thing to worry about so you can focus on what matters.
What matters is that you felt prepared and supported, and it sounds like you did. That's a win in our book.
Thank you for the kind words about the care we try to bring to such a tender, precious time. It was a privilege to be part of your journey, and we'd welcome you back in a heartbeat. Wishing you and your little one all the love.
- Dee, Labour & Love
The kit had everything we could possibly need, it was such a relief. Having everything in one space was a lifesaver. The set up was quick and easy, instructions were great and Dee was there with any questions we had!
Setting it up was way easier than we expected, and when labour started, I felt so calm knowing it was all ready to go. Being in the water made such a difference!
Honestly one of the best decisions we made. It arrived so clean, beautifully packaged, and had everything we needed which took so much stress off in those final weeks.
Great communication, delivery and product. Couldn’t be happier.
