BIRTH POOL HIRE
DETAILS
CONTACT
Born in Water
We specialise in hiring out luxury heated birthing pools to women who wish to labour and / or give birth at home. We feel passionately about waterbirth and giving women choice after having our own amazing home waterbirth. These pools can be enjoyed before labour and birth as they are thermostatically controlled. You have to change the water just once a week. They are also great for relaxation for achy muscles at the end of pregnancy.

We also hire and sell TENS machines. We now stock inflatable pools to buy as a budget pool as well as homeopathic kits, birthing balls and my breast friend feeding pillows. Our online shop is constantly being updated with products we have used for our labours, births and beyond.

Our pools can be hired over a 2 – 5 week hire period. Our website will give more information on homebirths, waterbirths and our pools.

HYPNOTHERAPY PRACTITIONERS
PRACTITIONER DETAILS

Bristol Hypnotherapy Clinic
Bristol Hypnotherapy Clinic & Harley Street, London, provides a more natural childbirth by using hypnosis. Clinical hypnotherapy gives you a remarkable degree of control, over your mind and body. Therefore you are able to reduce pain, fear, and anxiety whilst in labour, creating a calmer experience and a less stressed baby. During the term of pregnancy, discomfort with back pain, morning sickness, headaches, insomnia can be alleviated.

Fears of hospitals, needles, tokophobia, panic attacks and clinical / ante natal depression can create an unpleasant pregnancy and childbirth. Clinical hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy can produce better coping skills and therefore good mental health. As a hypnotherapist I see many who are pregnant with all sorts of problematic negativity or depressive thoughts regarding their future. It is well established that breaking up depression during pregnancy with CBT can significantly reduce post natal depression. That is why the focus on ante natal depression is so important.

The Bristol Birth Practice
Independent Midwives - Jo Taylor and Sally Randle

One to one care for pregnancy, birth and afterwards for women living in Bristol and surrounding areas. We believe that the birth experience has the potential to have a profound effect on a woman's self esteem and the successful transition to parenthood and family for all involved.

Our shared philosophy as midwives stems from our trust and respect for the innate ability of a woman's body to grow her baby and give birth. We are also keenly aware of her need to feel safe and confident before the instinctive, primal process of birth can unfold. We are there to offer information and support and to act as a safety net during this amazing time in your lives.

Spire Bristol Health Clinic
Spire Bristol Health Clinic is a calm and relaxing place to receive antenatal care. The centre offers a comprehensive ultrasound service for expectant mothers, with scans carried out by consultant obstetricians and midwives with recognised training in obstetric ultrasound. The range of scans available covers dating scans (performed after six weeks), detailed scans (carried out between 18 and 22 weeks) and growth scans (which may be performed between 28 and 40 weeks).

Spire Bristol Health Clinic is also one of just a handful of centres in the UK to offer a ‘one-stop clinic for the assessment of the risk of Down's syndrome' (OSCAR test). The assessment combines a blood test with an ultrasound scan, and takes into account the mother's age, the level of a hormone and a protein in her blood, the baby's length and the width of a fluid-filled space behind the baby's neck (the nuchal translucency – NT). The result, which expresses the probability of the baby having Down's syndrome, is available at the end of the consultation.
