Hot- Thanks for the reply regarding the salt.

We had the pool blown up last time with a cover on, I laid in bed until it was filled which is the only reason I finally made it to have a waterbirth. We had a trial run last night to see how long it takes, it took nearly 40minutes to fill it up which is most of my usual labour...I loved hitting the water last time, so laying down to slow everything down is worth the wait.
