So, I have an appointment with a midwife on Monday! Finally! A huge sense of relief to finally have some care, I'll be 17 weeks on Monday. Can't wait to book my birth pool and really start planning this.

Question re birth pools; what did you have if you got one? My midwife is Nicola Dutton from Midwives Naturally, and they offer I think 3 or 4 birth pools...3 inflatable at all different sizes, and one wooden. I quite like the idea of the wooden one, for the sturdiness of the edges, I'm not sure how much weight the edges can bear on the inflatable? I had a La Bassine I believe with DD but we never got to use it.
