We have two tubs for rental for hospital or home use. You do not have to be a client to rent a tub from us. One tub is a hard sided tub with jets that heats up the water as well as maintains the temperature of the water once full. It comes with full instructions on assembly. The hard sided tub rents for $275 a month.

The soft sided tub or Aqua Doula tub is easier to set up than the hardsided tub and will maintain the temperature of the water once it is filled. It will not heat the water so it needs to be filled with hot water from the beginning.

Both tubs are large enough for at least 2-3 people to be in them comfortably. Generally when you decide to reserve the tub for rental (it is advised to reserve tubs well in advance of your due date) you will pay a deposit of half of the rental fee and pay the remainder when you pick up the tub. Most people rent the tub 2 weeks before the due date and return it 2 weeks after the due date. These time limits can be extended for a fee of $75.00 a week.

To rent the Aqua Doula call 415-488-1406 or joanwgreen@aol.com.

To rent the hard sided tub, call 415-721-7693 or midwife@laughingcrows.net.
