    Birth pool hire

    Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I couldn't find any threads advertising birth pool hire...

    I'm wondering if anyone can recommend someone who hires out birth pools in the south east region of Victoria.
    My midwife has given me one lady's details who does and she costs $165 for hire of the pool, air pump and new disposable liner but she's not very close to my area.

    Just wanting to see what else is available out there (I.e, cheaper, closer to my area, etc).

    Birth partner is an online store that I hired my tens from. Nicole who runs it is fantastic and they hire out birth pools.

    Bump...
    Looking to buy now, online seems expensive. Gumtree isn't returning much and there's nothing on eBay.
    Is anybody on the forum willing to sell their old pool?

    Can you not get one for hire from your midwife? My midwife supplies them - glad I don't have to buy it because the one I have is $700.

    No I'm doing a hospital based homebirth program and they don't organise birth pools unfortunately. Have to sort out my own.
