Win a 'la Bassine' birthing pool from Made in Water
plus runners up prizes of the amazing book
Choosing Waterbirth by Lashami Bertram
 Made
in Water and babyworld.co.uk have long realised the power of water in
helping women achieve a pain free, drug free labour. So we've teamed up
to bring you the chance to win 'la Bassine'. La Bassine is a professional
inflatable birth pool that can be used at home or in hospital so that
you have the opportunity to experience the natural, safe and relaxing
effects of water during your labour.
The use of birth pools at home or in hospital is now widely
accepted by the NHS. As a result Made in Water designed La Bassine so
that waterbirth could be more accessible to more women irrespective of
income or where they choose to give birth.
The latest studies show that using a birthing pool can shorten
labour and make it significantly less painful. While labouring in water
you are less likely to require the use of drugs such as pethidine or an
epidural and intervention rates are lower. Warm water also softens the
perineum making episiotomy virtually unnecessary and reducing the chance
of severe tears.
 'la
Bassine' inflatable birthing pool
'la Bassine' has been designed by an experienced mother
of three who has used water for every birth. It is an inflatable birthing
pool custom made for women wishing to labour and give birth in water.
The specifications of the pool are:
- Ideal size: 165cm x 135cm and 65cm deep
- Ideal Oval shape. Take less room and need less water (around 100 gallons)
- Ideal material: 0.38mm thick is resistant and durable
- Ideal to set up: Because it is inflatable, it is very easy to transport
if you wish a hospital birth and to set up in any room. It can be ready
in just 20 minutes with a little exercise and the use of a foot pump.
When deflated the pool weight 5.5kg along with its nice bag.
