we didn't use salt in the pool, but I didn't labour in it for long before bub was born. I remember reading about it, and I think one of the reasons was to reduce pruny skin. You need a fair bit of salt to get the effect.
while talking about birthpools, one thing that I am really thankful that we did was to have the pool blown up and sitting on a blanket in the shed. When labour started, all DH had to do was carry it up to the house and fill it up. If he had to blow it up as well, we wouldn't have made it. ANd it is never too early (In labour) to start filling the pool! You can always drain water and add hot water if needed.
