Frequently Asked Questions

 
  • We prefer pick-up and drop-off of tubs at our Berkeley studio. However, labor tubs can be brought to your home or your approved desired location for an additional fee.

  • Yes. We can almost always make a tub work in your space. You need approximately a 5ft by 5ft space for the tub to fit. This will allow plenty of space for the tub and room for your midwife to monitor you and your support person to be there for you as well.

  • Your tub will be filled by connecting a hose to your shower or sink. We will provide you with universal adapter attachments, however, not all attachments may fit, and you may need to provide your own adapter as needed.

  • Yes! One of the most significant benefits of our tubs is that they are spacious and comfortable. There is room for you to bring a partner or sibling into the tub with you and for you to move around. Being able to get a partner or spouse in the water and have the water cover your entire abdomen are two things a birth tub will provide that a Jacuzzi or bathtub will not offer.

 
  • It takes about 30 minutes to fill if you have a continuous supply of hot water. However, if you have a small water heater, you may need to let the heater refill once or twice. Please plan on the tub taking 2-3 hours to be filled.

  • Once the tub is set up and filled, it can remain that way with its cover on for up to 48 hours before it needs to be drained and refilled. Once you get in, the clock resets at 24 hours, or whichever is sooner.

  • Each tub comes with a disposable latex-free liner. After the water is drained, this will be thrown away along with the hose that was used to fill and drain your tub. Once the tub is returned, a staff member cleans each part of the tub with hospital-grade sanitizer.

  • Our tub rentals are for a 4 week period. We are happy to coordinate a time during our regular business hours for pickup or drop off. Our office in Berkeley has a convenient parking lot for easy loading and unloading.
