Birth Tub Setup
Camco TastePURE 50-Ft Water Hose
A 50-foot drinking-water-safe hose. An ordinary garden hose isn’t rated for potable water — this one is, and the length reaches most kitchens.
Ships from Amazon
VIVOSUN 850GPH Submersible Pump
For filling the tub and, more to the point, emptying it afterwards. At 850 gallons an hour it makes short work of the part nobody looks forward to.
Ships from Amazon
AGPTEK Portable Electric Air Pump
Electric inflator with three nozzle sizes. Inflating a birth tub by hand is a job nobody volunteers for twice.
Ships from Amazon

Connects your hose to a standard kitchen tap. A small part that causes a large problem if it’s missing on the day.

Prefer professional-grade supplements?
Many of the supplements I recommend are also available through my Fullscript dispensary — practitioner-selected brands, third-party tested, shipped to your door.
Our Trusted Partners
For everything beyond the list above, these are the dispensaries and brands I work with directly.
If you’re weighing what you actually need for your birth, that’s a conversation. Book an initial consultation and we’ll sort it out together.
Some links on this page are affiliate or dispensary links, which means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products I use in my own practice. Items ship directly from the partner listed on each card — Mountain Laurel Midwifery does not stock or ship products.
