Waterproof Sheets

Waterproof sheets for home birthSuggestion:  Purchased 2-3  sheets for homebirthWaterproof sheets are42 inches by 84and are intended to protect your mattress during birth.You’ll need them whether you plan to give birth in water or out since even with a waterbirth, you usually get out of the water to deliver the placenta on the bed.These paper/plastic sheets are nicer than covering with a painter’s plastic sheet or shower curtain since they breath better and don’t cause you to sweat.You’ll cover your mattress with it’s usual mattress protector, then use about 2 of these to cover the full bed, then put your old sheets over this. After the birth, you simply pull the old sheets and waterproof sheets off the bed and throw in the garbage.Replace with new sheets.These can also be used to drape over couches or the floor in the event you end up giving birth in a different location than planned.**Image shows one sheet on King size bed
