✺ The hire library

Birth kit, ready when you are.

Each piece chosen by experienced midwives. Sanitised, serviced and ready to go — we deliver, walk you through the basics, and come back to collect once baby is here.

✺ Pools Two pools + a take-home liner
Earthy Birth Pool, set up with soft fairy lights and a salt lamp 01 $300/ 4 wks

Earthy Birth Pool

Warm water, deeper breathing, softer waves of labour.

The full-size floor pool — deep enough to fully submerge. Buoyancy takes the weight off your hips and pelvis. Comes with a fresh liner, fill and drain hose, tap adapter, floating thermometer, sieve, and a pump.

Mini Birth Pool in a Box ready to set up, with warm towels and a salt lamp 02 $275/ 4 wks

Mini Birth Pool in a Box

A compact pool that arrives ready to set up.

Smaller footprint, lighter to fill, kinder to tighter spaces. Same warm-water support as the full-size pool. Comes with a fresh liner, fill and drain hose, tap adapter, floating thermometer, sieve, and a pump.

Fresh sealed liner inside a birth pool, with terrazzo-pattern base 03 $80to keep

Pool Liner

Already have a pool? Take a fresh liner home.

A clean, sealed liner to buy outright — yours to keep. For using your own pool, a friend's pool, or as a backup with one of ours.

✺ Tools Three to add on
01 $70/ 4 wks

Elle TENS 2

Drug-free pain relief, fully in your control.

Purpose-built for labour — dual-channel coverage across the lower back, a boost button for surges, and pre-set programs for each stage. Tiny pulses block pain signals and trigger your own endorphins. Comes with new electrode adapters, spare batteries, and an instruction manual.

02 $50/ 4 wks

Birth Swing

Hang, sway, and let your hips open.

Suspended support that lets you fully release your weight, opening the pelvis and helping baby find their best position. Two colours to choose from. Comes with a padded door-frame attachment and all the straps you need to set it up safely.

Spectra S1 Plus pump beside a glowing salt lamp 03 $25/ wk

Spectra S1 Plus

Hospital-grade. Gentle, quiet enough for night feeds.

A closed-system pump with rechargeable battery and adjustable suction — the same gentle support whether you're plugged in or on the move. Ideal for establishing supply, NICU stays, or returning to work. Comes with tubing, two flange sizes, bottles, and the full kit.

✺ FAQ

Things families ask before booking.

When should we book?

Around 30–34 weeks works best. Stock is limited, so booking too early just locks gear away from another family closer to baby. Message us a few weeks out and we'll work back from the due date.

How does delivery work?

Free locally. We drop everything off ready to go and walk through the basics with whoever's home. We come back to collect once baby's here.

Is everything cleaned between hires?

Yes. Fresh liners, new pads, sanitised tubing, replacement batteries — we don't compromise on hygiene.

What if baby comes early or late?

Babies arrive on their own time. We work with whatever happens — early arrivals get a fast delivery, late ones get an extended hire, no fuss.

What if we need help during setup or labour?

Don't hesitate to reach out — we're here through the whole hire window. We walk through setup with whoever's there on delivery, so no one's caught off guard later.

✺ Heads up

Equipment is hired and used at the hirer's own risk. We sanitise, service and test every item between hires, but Pools & Tools for Birth can't accept liability for injury, damage or loss arising from use. Please confirm suitability with your midwife or healthcare provider, and follow the instructions we send with each hire. Anything on this site is general information only — not medical advice.
