La Bassine™ - inflatable birth pool - from "Made In Water"
Thank you to Sophie and Jordi for sharing this photo of them with their beautiful baby boy, Marc Ananda, born in La Bassine™ at home on Wednesday 23rd August 2006.
Working alongside the sole distributor for Australia and New Zealand Simply Birth, I am really pleased to be able to promote this wonderful eco-friendly birth pool.
Designed by a Mum, Carine Pouypoudat, for the birth of her daughter at home in 2004, the pool was then launched in June 2005 and Made In Water has sold more than 5000 pools worldwide (and Carine has also had her 4th child at home in La Bassine™ in November 2005!) .....
La Bassine™ measures:
Outer: 65" long (165cm), 53" wide (135cm), and 25" deep (65cm)
Inner: 50" long (125cm), 38" wide (95cm)
It has an oval shape and with an 80% capacity of 450L (approx) it gives you the perfect water depth.
La Bassine™ is made of extra thick PVC (0.44mm) so this birth pool is strong and durable. The inflatable floor provides additional comfort, and two sturdy internal handles provide something to hold on to whilst in labour and giving birth.
La Bassine™ comes with its own carrying case. Inflation and deflation is quick and easy with both large and small air valve options.
