birth pool
Inflatable labor vessel
A birth pool is a large tub or inflatable basin filled with warm water, used during labor and delivery.
Water birth advocates say immersion eases pain and creates a gentler transition for the newborn.
Birth pools are common in home births and birthing centers, and increasingly available in hospitals: We set up the birth pool in the living room.
