Contact Exeter Homebirth Group
Our Homebirth support group is open to all parents who are thinking about planning a home birth, whether you are undecided and wanting to explore your birth choices
or already feeling that home birth is for you.
Exeter Homebirth Group do not condone or encourage unassisted birth or freebirthing. We believe in maintaining the safety of mother and baby at all times. We encourage
women and their families to make informed decisions and we respect their decisions.
We welcome birth stories at Homebirth Groups and we don't feel it is appropriate to censor their telling. We feel it is as important to share stories where homebirths
were not achieved, as when they are, as this is the reality. What we hope to hear are stories where women have positive experiences, where they felt well supported and felt involved in any decision-making. When women and their families do not feel they have had a positive experience we aim to signpost them to appropriate professionals.
The following listing shows the date, time and venue for our forthcoming meetings. If you require any further information please contact us using the
contact us page.
We have inflatable birth pools available for hire. They are all professional pools by Birth Pool In a Box/Birth Pool in a Box and you can find more
information and the dimensions of pools on their website. We have regular and mini pools available for hire. We charge £30 hire for the pool and
inflate/deflate pump to cover our costs, but you will also need to buy a sterile liner from Birth Pool in a Box. We have a discount code which you are
welcome to use for 10% off the liner and anything else you might want from
Birth Pool in a Box.
Please contact Jen Harris at
Jen@exeterbabies.co.uk to discuss birth pool hire, or visit our
facebook group to chat about the benefits of birthing in water!
