FAQ
You Asked, We Answered
Our pools are oval in shape and have an internal basin measurement of 38 inches wide x 47 inches long x 24 inches deep. The footprint when fully inflated measures 65 inches long x 55 inches wide x 26 inches high.
In your confirmation email, there is a link to our video tutorials for how to set up/take down the pools. There is also a comprehensive instruction PDF and an instruction booklet included in the pool kit itself.
For our pros, less than 15 minutes! But our Instruction Booklet in your kit gives you a simple step-by-step guide to follow for your partner as well.
On average:
- 6-8 minutes to inflate the pool
- 3 minutes to set up/put away equipment, floor protection, and twinkle lights
- 2 minutes to insert and adjust the liner
- 5-25 minutes to fill up the pool, depending on your water pressure and hot water tank system
Tip: Set up the pool in early labour, but WAIT to fill the pool until you are in active labour (6+ cm dilated if you're having cervical checks). If you're not getting in the pool ASAP, fill the bottom half with hot(ish) water and then fill the remaining with lukewarm water when you're ready to get in. The temperature once you are in the pool should be 37 degrees celsius and can be measured with the thermometer included in your kit.
The liner included is designed for single use only and should be disposed of after each use. Option to purchase an additional liner is available.
Call our emergency contact numbers on the front page of your Instruction Booklet that came in your birth pool kit. We will deliver a replacement ASAP. You may also opt to purchase a second liner for just-in-case situations.
Every pool and kit item is cleaned and sanitized with medical-grade cleaning supplies to ensure that any and all bodily fluids are washed away between uses. We also require that birthers use a disposable pool liner.
As the renter, you are responsible for disclosing any damages to the pool or items in the kit upon return. If the pool requires replacement due to negligence or misuse, you will be held responsible for the full cost of replacement.
If you encounter any issues with your pool kit, we kindly ask you to call us right away. You can find our contact numbers and troubleshooting instructions in your instruction booklet. We always strive to ensure that your pool kit is in the best possible shape by inspecting and testing each item upon return, but if you run into any problems, we are here to help you.
Full booking information can be found on our Birth Pool Rental page. Once you submit your rental request, you will receive an email confirmation. A contract and invoice will follow shortly afterward. To reserve your rental, a 50% retainer is required, and full payment must be made before 36 weeks gestation. We offer payment plans for your convenience.
Your pool rental drop-off will be arranged for when you are 37 weeks pregnant. If you require an earlier drop-off, a fee of $75/week will apply, subject to availability.
We offer free delivery and pick-up within Edmonton city limits. Outside of this area may incur a per km charge. We also have 3 pick-up/return points to choose from in Sherwood Park, St. Albert, and Leduc, as well as our Edmonton South location.
We ask that you contact us to arrange the return of the pool as soon as possible after you are done with it so that we can get it ready for the next family!
Yes, you can bring your pool to labour in at any hospital, even under OB-GYN care. However, they will ask you to get out of the pool for the delivery of your baby. I recommend discussing this with your OB and your delivery hospital to review their policies beforehand. Advocate for yourself to use a pool during labour for pain management in the hospital setting! Let's pave the way for change for future birthers!
If you are with Midwifery care you are eligible to labour AND give birth in the pool at the Royal Alexandra Lois Hole Hospital for Women and (hopefully) soon at the Misericordia and Sturgeon hospitals. Again, it is advised to speak with your midwife about this prior to going into labour.
Our owner and experienced Birth Doula's advice:
Labour in the shower as long as possible using gravity and movement until you are in the transition or pushing stage. Then get in the pool! Save the aqua-dural effects for when they work best, in the final stages of labour. Using the pool at any time during labour is okay but be sure to rinse your body before re-entry if you've found yourself out of the pool for longer than 1 hour.

If you're on the fence about hiring a doula, hire Grace
I am so grateful to have Grace as part of my pregnancy/birth/postpartum team. She has been an absolute joy to work with and I will be recommending her to all newly pregnant mamas I know. Prenatally she checked in with me often, provided education for birth prep for both myself and husband, and was a positive voice all throughout. I initially didn't think I needed a doula but I truly believe that having Grace with us for my home birth prevented an unplanned and unwanted hospital transfer. My labor progressed very quickly and, long story short, we weren't sure if our midwives would make it in time for delivery. Grace remained calm but also realistic about what was happening and held us together until our midwives arrived. Even through all of that chaos she managed to capture photos and video of labor and delivery that we will cherish forever.
Grace's support for both my husband and I during a very stressful situation made a huge difference in my birth experience and I am so so happy she was there. On top of that, she has been immensely helpful during this postpartum period dealing with jaundice, weight concerns, lack of sleep, etc as new parents. She is gentle and aware of how vulnerable this time is and I always feel better after talking to her.
If I could only choose 3 words to describe Grace I'd say calm, reassuring, and supportive. If you're on the fence about hiring a doula, hire Grace.
Hot tip: Put her service on your baby registry and recommend it as a group gift option
-Marissa (home birth)
Grace is phenomenal at what she does. She made our birth experience that much better with her calm & reassuring presence, her encouragment and wealth of knowledge. She helped to guide and support not only me, but my partner during labor and birth making us feel comfortable and taken care of. Grace truly was a crucial part of our successful birth experience, & we could not have done it without her.
She gives her all to her clients, and her passion for her birth work is unmeasured.
If you are looking for someone to support you through the anxieties and unknowns of pregnancy, labor and postpartum then look no further. She is a godsend!
Grace was a crucial part of our successful birth experience
-Danae (hospital birth)
Grace was an awesome addition to my whole pregnancy, she was there every step of the way whenever I needed her. She continues to be very supportive afterwards as well always answering any questions I have. She was in the OR during my planned C-section and she made that experience wonderful by taking lots of pics, videos and even cutting my sons cord. She was there with him while they were assessing him making sure he was never alone which eased so much worry and anxiety. She was there for me during surgery as well calming me and letting me know everything that was going on. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone because she is definitely a must have for any birth experience. Not only is she wonderful at what she does she is just simply wonderful human being! I don’t think I would have had the birth experience I did without her involved.

-Haley (planned c-section)
As soon as she entered my birth space I instantly felt more calm, comfortable, and in control.
I cannot say enough good things about Grace. She has the most calming, empathetic presence about her. As soon as she entered my birth space I instantly felt more calm, comfortable, and in control. She has also been the most amazing support in this postpartum period, answering any questions I have, helping me talk through my birth and process it all. She also took pictures during my labour which I didn’t have with my previous births so for that I am incredibly grateful. I’m so thankful I had her on my support team and she’ll definitely be the first person I call for any future pregnancies!
-Erica (hospital birth)
All I can say is wow
!
All I can say is wow, Grace truly is a trooper. I can't believe how she fell into my lap/birth plan but I honestly couldn't have had the unmedicated vaginal birth I've always imagined without her. Forever grateful she is phenomenal and passionate at what she does and it shows! If you ever want a doula who is affordable and all the things I mentioned above, hire Grace! 10/10
-Amanda (hospital birth)
I couldn't have accomplished my wish for a natural birth without her
Hiring Grace as our doula was the smartest decision we made throughout my entire pregnancy. She helped me gain so much knowledge and confidence to have the HBAC I've dreamed after dealing with an unnecessary c section with my first. Having her there during labour and birth was perfect. I FaceTimed her saying I needed help and within a few minutes she was with me. She gave me some wonderful pressure point massages that helped me so much with pain management and her words of encouragement, focus, and perspective helped me get through some of the roughest patches of my labour and the ring of fire. I honestly feel like I couldn’t have accomplished my wish for a natural birth without her. Over all my labour turned out to be a really incredible & beautiful experience. Grace was there every step of the way to support my HBAC, not only me but my hubby was so grateful for her support. I can't thank her enough for the postpartum help, food drop off, and check ins.
