Birthing equipment

You may find that items such as wall bars, mats or beanbags help you to change position and remain comfortable during labour. If you're giving birth in a maternity unit, your midwife will be able to tell you if specific items are normally available. However, you may need or prefer to provide some equipment yourself.

I plan to use equipment such as mats or beanbags during labour

I do not plan to use equipment such as mats or beanbags during labour

Special facilities

Some units may offer you special facilities such as a birthing pool. Some have special rooms called LDRP rooms (labour, delivery, recovery, postnatal rooms) where you stay in the same room until you leave the hospital, although availability is limited. Your midwife will be able to tell you what's available.

Special facilities Choice:

I would like to use a special LDRP room, if available

I would like to use a birthing pool, if available

I would like to use other special facilities

I am not sure yet whether I would like to use special facilities, such as a special LDRP room or birthing pool, if available
