Items needed for a water birth

​​

• Water birth Kit- This kit has a birthing tub liner, a hose adapter and hose. This comes with a 25 foot hose. If your water source is farther away, you may have to replace this hose with a 50 ft hose. Make sure the hose will reach the bottom of the birthing tub. ​
