When is the best time to hire a birth pool?
We recommend picking up your hire at 37 weeks gestation. This will ensure our six week hire period will cover your likely day of delivery. Please choose the date and time you would like to pick up your pool at time of booking.
How do I organise return of my hire?
Your hire is due back to us at the end of your six week hire period. This date can be chosen at time of booking. If you need to amend this date, please contact us. If you are finished with your hire product prior to the end of your six week hire period, we would appreciate the prompt return of your items so that we may service other ladies. We will contact you prior to your return date to organise a drop off / collection time.
How do I inflate and fill the pool?

Who can hire from Earthside Australia?

How do I amend my chosen rental dates?
If the hire equipment you’re after is unavailable for your chosen dates or you’ve made a mistake, you can amend your dates by clicking the little shopping cart button in the bottom right corner. Then click the dates you have chosen to change them.
Do I have to return the add ons I chose when customising my hire order?
All the little extras that used to be hired — like birth combs, affirmation cards, and fairy lights — are now yours to keep. The only thing you need to return is your base birth pool kit, TENS machine or birth sling.
