Several small businesses are renting waterbirth tubs for home births today. Some hospitals may allow parents to bring in a tub if the parents make arrangements long before labor begins. Some hospitals have tubs for use with birthing, some for labor only, while others have only showers. Find out if your hospital or midwife supports laboring and/or birthing in water.

Waterbirth Resources

Vanessa Stephens Coldwater developed Waterbirth Resources. Serving  the Twin Cities with water birth tub rental, education and supplies. Vanessa does presentations on water birth to area hospitals and parent groups. Vanessa comes to your home with the tub, helps to set up the tub, and comes back to take it down! Wonderful service. And she is a midwife, too, so she enters your home showing the same gracious respect for the nesting mother that she shows when coming into the homes of her own families' homes. She has a variety of tubs, one with jets. A birthing stool comes with the rental if desired.
