We recommend you set-up your birth pool when you first receive it to ensure it is working properly. We recommend you allow the birth pool to acclimate to room temperature for 72 hours (especially if it just came off a delivery truck in the middle of winter!) After it acclimates, inflate all chambers and allow it to sit overnight. It should hold air and be firm in the morning. You do not need to put water in the pool at this time. Checking that the pool stays inflated is all that is needed.

Please ensure there is enough shipping time before your due date. We are not responsible if you place an order, receive it promptly, and you're unable to use it.

“Thus nature provides a system for proportioning the growth of plants that satisfies the three canons of architecture. All modules are isotropic and they are related to the whole structure of the plant through self-similar spirals proportioned by the golden mean.” ― Jay Kappraff

Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson spent 12 years of his life taking pictures of the fetus Developing in the womb.

These incredible photographs were taken with conventional cameras with macro lenses, an endoscope and scanning electron microscope.

Nilsson used a magnification of hundreds of thousands and “worked” right in the womb. His first photo of the human fetus was taken in 1965.

Nursing in public or in front of other people can be nerve wracking. Nearly 16 years later I still remember my first go out in the world. It was a chain restaurant for lunch with a friend. The table was too close, my breast felt like it had a mind of its own and the waiter was way too young to understand any of it and I felt a twinge of pity for HIM.
I sweat down my back. We did it and it was all easier from there. Nursed him, his brother to follow, their sister after that and the youngest wherever I was without issue.

My uniform for all those years was layers. A tank under another shirt. Pull the top layer up and the other down and my sides were covered. Anyone glancing would see nothing but my baby’s head. Anyone that saw more was looking too long.

Dress for the job and coverage. If you’re still not sure, sit in front of a mirror or have someone take a pic so you can see what everyone else will see.

🌿Your baby will need to eat. You can feed them whenever you are. Feeling confident matters.
