Can inflatable hot tubs be used as birthing pools?

Well they were not built for that purpose, so NO! The spas cannot be used safely without chemicals to sanitize the water and the effect of the chemicals on the unborn or newly born baby is unknown. Furthermore, it’s difficult to see how an inflatable spa used as a birthing pool could ever be cleaned satifactorily after the birth.
