Abstract: An apparatus for water birthing in which an occupant of the tub is raised. The apparatus may include a tub, a stand and a connector, the tub having a floor with an outlet therethrough and a peripheral side wall, the stand being configured to support the tub, in use, at or adjacent a terminal edge or lip of the peripheral side wall such that the floor of the tub is spaced from the ground upon which the stand rests. The connector may be fluidly connected or connectable to the outlet, removably and fluidly connected or connectable to a drainage apparatus, and accessible during use of the water birthing apparatus. Assistants of an occupant of the tub have reduced distances to bend and/or reach when assisting (e.g. lifting or otherwise moving) the occupant.
